I don't eat at McDonalds or shop at Walmart.

Most jobs worth having have medical benefits now -- massive unemployment is just talking point bullshit.

You can still buy the best private insurance that you can afford and get private rooms in the hospital. But at least if you are an average worker you will have access to proper medical care. If you ever need that, you will give a shit and be glad that is there for you.

You will also be covered for pre-existing illness and not tossed under the bus if your claims are too much.

Deal with it -- it's the law now ...

The delay was because the government bureaucracy is not yet prepared to offer suitable insurance coverage to small businesses for their workers -- Obamacare is like a Chinese fire-drill.

I know because I have been on the phone with, get this: the US Department of Agriculture, the administrator of the PCIP Insurance for Obamacare -- they can't find the check my bank sent on my behalf for the new policy. On top of that, the "National Financial Center and the healthcare insurance administrator didn't have a record of me -- the state transferred the policy and fubared the paperwork -- after 2 hours on the phone and my threatening to make some calls in Washington D.C. the Administrator's office set up a conference call with the National Financial Center.

I see this as an example of their readiness after having been delayed by court case challenges and funding threats by Congress' squealing pigs -- they are not yet organised.
