My problem with Obamacare [View all]

[edhopper]

This is just some thoughts I have about it and wanted to discuss it further. I am not trying to attack Obamacare or defend it, just discuss it.
First, I accept it is the law we have and we should accept it and work with it while hoping we can move on to a better system like single payer. And I do think it is an improvement over what we had.
But we must acknowledge that Obamacare is based on a Heritage Foundation conservative plan. When progressives first looked at these ideas there were many valid criticism showing it's shortcomings. (I tried a google search for that time period but all the results were only from the last few years.)
Beyond the fact that conservatives are now attacking their own plan, we have liberals embracing a plan they once thought inadequate and flawed.
Aren't those same problems present in this plan? If we saw serious problems when the plan was presented by the HF, what do we do about them know. And are they so problematic that the system in the end can't be successful?

There is the politics that say Democrats need to embrace Obamacare. But on the intellectual side, we can't turn away from reason and critical thinking. (that is the GOPs wheel house)
