7. Do you realize there still will be millions of people who do not have access any type of care,

and millions of people who will have barely any access to those doctors under the Medicaid system, and then millions who find themselves in financial hardship trying to keep up with annual out of pocket maximum pay outs.

While there are good things with this law and many people will be helped, in the end it really helped the insurance companies who have seen diminished enrollment for their policies. What they feared was a national, not for profit HC system, sadly the Dems went along.

And what they are really concerned about is all dollars from the boomers who they will lose to Medicare.

And what happens to Medicare, the system has too many participants, no wonder all the talk of entitlement spending.

Obama had the perfect opportunity to connect the dots for the American people, he blew it!

We need a a large pool of HC subscribers, we need a pool of people who are using the system and paying into the system, the definition of insurance.

With the demographics now was THE time, the Dems really blew it. The boomers are a huge factor that could have been used to tell the truth, instead they chose to support the for profit companies.

These pictures are insulting to those of us who have their own pictures, we're living through the For Profit system.
