huh? you do know that all republican proposals for health reform leave 10s of millions uninsured. how do you of all people attack obamacare for not covering people?
PS - making those that dont need it pay for those that do? Thats the business model of the health insurance company - the healthy customers pay for the sick ones within the insurance pool. Thing is...the insurance company maximizes profit by minimizing expenses, AKA cancelling the coverage of the sickest people.
This basic economic fact is why i personally support a single payer system. I far prefer a hilary crony over gordon gekko making decisions on my health care financing.
i am unhappy with obamacare simply because it keeps gordon gekko insurance companies in business, & worse, still able to price gouge but now "taxpayer subsidies" cover that cost. absurd.
