Obama wanted a single payer system and thanks to Obamacare, it looks like he will see it. Believe me when I say that we do NOT want socialized medicine. I have been to and lived in many countries and have seen the nightmares. In those type of countries, only the rich make out in health care.

When, Bill Clinton was running for office my father voted for him because of the PROMISE of taking care of medical care. My dad was no fool. He was well read and well educated. He was a bit taken back when I said you will not get it because the CLINTONS never mentioned how they were going to pay for it.
I had a friend and a customer with family in Germany that even at that time had national healthcare> I asked him how it works. We start out with the concept of equal care for everyone. So that is mediocre care for everyone-it has to be so. He informed me that people who can do so in germany pay for private healthcare and thus get better care than the state provides. We, Obama never allowed that option in obamacare.
I've read that attorneys add 30-40% to the cost of medical care in the United States. Obama a legal professor married to an attorney never addressed capping the cost of some of these law cases.
You mention that you have private insurance so paying for medicare was a waste for you. I assume that you are not old enough to register for medicare or your plan has not copay or???? What you have said does not seem to make sense. You apparently got healthcare as an employment benefit. Just to tell you, I was self employed we paid 14,000 a year for healthcare insurance. THINK ABOUT IT AND APPRECIATE IT. You received roughly 14,000 a year TAX FREE.
THROUGHOUT HISTORY-IT HAS BEEN THE SAME AS FAR AS TAXES GO. Everyone wants and no one wants to pay.
With, as you stated private health care provided free as oart of your employment YOU likely worked in GOVERNMENT. If, I am correct-then taxes I paid not only paid for your healthcare but your income as well. Again, to remind you-everyone wants and no one wants to pay.
