Wallfisher- we're all so sick because many have had TO ALREADY drop their coverage because now it’s too outrageous and some insurance companies have folded that was just 6 months ago- on top of that- the HMO's of the last30 years have second opinioned and stalled us with band aids instead of lasting decisive care- until now were too sick to work- and not old enough for Medicare- uh duh of course this is one perspective of a person who did those things instead of populating the country with excessive low income large families so the gov can maintain the lifestyle I never worked for-like the 2nd and third generation welfare families- need a raise- or 16 more years of housing, food stamps, and medical care,- just have another child- uncle Sammy got your back – of course you can no longer afford to cover your own.

The Affordable Care Act is the single greatest piece of national legislation since Medicare. Just as they shouted "Keep your hands off my Medicare" 45 years after it was enacted, 20 years from now, when we are debating how to improve our health care system even more, future Tea Party types will be shouting "Keep your hands off my ACA!"

Instead of trying to fix our healthcare problem, why don't we look at why people are ill or unhealthy? We can start by removing the chemicals in our foods that interact with our own naturally individual system. Quit producing genetically modified foods, you can't tell me these don't interact with our natural chemical balance.

And if people can't afford to buy insurance, who got the bright idea that they will be able to pay more taxes? What a joke that was not thought out to it's fullest extent. This law will only make those companies involved in the medical field more profits.

"Premiums will go down" smoke up our butts. "Everyone will be insured" smoke up our butts. "No one will be excluded" smoke up our butts. "No pre-existing conditions" smoke up our butts. I will promise you this. Even if our premiums do go down, it will not go down enough to cover the tax dollars being wasted on this form of welfare. And since everyone will be "insured", medical care will go on the rise. Once they see how much will be paid out by this "insurance" for claims, our premiums will go right back up. This will put the government in charge of medical care, not the right people that are qualified to do so. For every $10 it costs for this "insurance", it will cost the taxpayers $50. Do the math, that does not equal out. This is a joke and it should be stopped. These idiots have no idea what they are doing.
