Because its the federal government overstepping its boundaries. Forcing small businesses to lay people off or pay a fine for not giving employees full healthcare coverage. Adding way more to the deficit ( 1.2 trillion in the first year if I recall). The best possible outcome is the same amount of people are covered, but 20 million more are covered under Medicaid and 20 million that had insurance through jobs now don't have insurance.

It costs a lot of money and makes it illegal to not buy health insurance. Before Obamacare you could vouch to not have health insurance and save some money if you are healthy, now you will need to buy health insurance or end up paying a large fine

It also forces individuals to buy health insurance which is no guarantee of health coverage anyways (brb insurance can just deny your claims) or they get fined at I think 3% of their annual wages for every year they don't buy health insurance.Originally Posted by iron_monster

To make it brief, government should only regulate what the US private sector cannot do on its own. This is not one of those cases, and now people are paying more money for a regulated healthcare system, just to get worse care, and to pay for other people who cant afford it.

Canada brah checking in:
Another reason why public health care is kind of chit, sure everyone gets the benefit, but you also have to wait 2+ hours to see any doctor/surgeon in ER cause chit is so packed.
Have private health care anyway

it also destroys health care technology progression. We'll be back implementing strategies from the 90s within the next 3-4 years to save money.

Yeah guys, why get free health care when you can instead go into debt for life if you need life saving surgery. Canadian health care ftw.

Because, we have this thing called a Constitution, and right now, things that are Constitutional RIGHTS are being treated as if they have no place in America while things that are privileges are being FORCED on us as they would be in a socialist country.

Already destroyed advantage plans + doctors will be cutting off a majority of Medicare patients and not accepting it anymore. Bad news for the disabled.

The Constitution of the United States gives the federal government no authority to intervene in the issue of healthcare.

4 things are strange.
1) the guy talking about canda and waiting
yes you may wait but you will still treated imidiately if your an emergency so i dont see the problem
2) People talk about "private" blabla which from my point of view is bull**** since medical threatment is not optional once you need it you get emotional and desperate which is the point where "free markets" have problems
3) All the people here talking about the costs ignoring one big fact, if someone has no insurance he will get emergency treatment anyhow and he will eventually pay nothing how is that better than forcing everybody to get what everybody needs anyhow?
4) "we donct cover this - donct cover that" is especially something that does not ocure when you ahve universal healtcare

Simply because I don't like violence and coercion. It really is that simple. I resent the fact that other people think they can get 51% of people to vote violence onto me. It's criminal in the same way any other force fraud or coercion is.
…we have not spent the last 65 million or so years finely honing our physiology to watch Oprah. Like it or not, we are the product of a very long process of adaptation to a harsh physical existence, and the past couple centuries of comparative ease and plenty are not enough time to change our genome. We humans are at our best when our existence mirrors, or at least simulates, the one we are still genetically adapted to live. And that is the purpose of exercise. - Mark Rippetoe

I'm pretty sure the Constitution was written well before universal healthcare became an issue. What does the constitution say about Internet or automobiles?Originally Posted by Igmann

They care more about their luxury then helping a fellow man (these fellow men are mostly african-american, so they don't want to help them either possible because of racist traits)
You can get run over a phukking bus bro, how the phuck can people predict when they will still healthy or not lol.It costs a lot of money and makes it illegal to not buy health insurance. Before Obamacare you could vouch to not have health insurance and save some money if you are healthy, now you will need to buy health insurance or end up paying a large fine
