If it is the price of the medication it isn't Obamacare so much as it is pharmaceutical companies wanting to rape you and reap their 1000% profit margins.

As I said when it Obamacare first passed, the problem with it is that it does nothing to actually lower the cost of healthcare. It is just a health insurance bill.

That said, I am the opposite side of the coin. Having a pre-existing condition (asthma) I was never able to buy decent health insurance. Now I can and I can get my prescriptions filled at local pharmacies instead of having to order them online. I have much better coverage and convenience and am spending about the same as I was before when I was paying for most of my care out of pocket.
There are some good things given that.

I have Asthma and have never had a problem with insurance.

A DJ I work with is a diabetic and has had lots of problems finding insurance.
He check out several Obama care places and it was NOT cheaper for him.
The monthly went down about $100, but the deductibles doubled, so he kept his own insurance...

There is a story for either side or in the middle, the question is what is the MAJORITY?
