I agree with some of your first points. State by state market places should be eliminated in favor of a single, federal exchange.

Computerized medical records were not excessive. Shuffling manila folders back and forth between doctors offices is one of the biggest money-wasters in the healthcare industry.

The computerized prescriptions don't present a barrier, unless you're trying to simultaneously buy Oxycontin from ten different doctors for retail to junkies. Doctors are not inhibited from writing legitimate prescriptions for their patients by a computerized database.

And there are no death panels.

There are many things that can be done to improve Obamacare, which I'm sure Democrats would be willing to vote for. They passed it thinking they'd be able to amend and improve it as various problems popped up, but as soon as Republicans took the House in 2010 they immediately started blocking all modifications to Obamacare in the hopes that the small flaws would cause it to collapse under its own weight. You're problems with Obamacare are a reflection of that. It took the GOP several years of foot dragging before they passed a medicare fix for Obamacare.
