I am sure it helped some people that could not get coverage from existing conditions OR were not paying for insurance in the first place but I feel overall the people who were paying and carried coverage on a family it hurt more than it ever helped. With more and more people being allowed to come over, I am sure it is only going to get worse as more people get it subsidized. Someone has to pay for the people who cannot afford it or unwilling to pay for it.

That is what Obama is about, helping the poor not the majority. Got get those votes somehow.
