The Real News About Obamacare

The news noise about the rocky roll out of Obamacare has been so deafening that it has diverted our attention from the central importance of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Amid the brouhaha about ACA website malfunctions, private insurance policy cancellations, and Obama Administration mismanagement, our collective attention has been redirected from the fact that the presence or absence of ACA can be a matter of life or death for millions of Americans. As a cancer patient these destabilizing diversions make me angry. As an anthropologist, they make me anxious about the future of our society.
