To me, the Affordable Health Care Act is a very positive thing and is going to help millions of Americans who are uninsured and who could not get health insurance otherwise. It is helping seniors who have lost health insurance and cannot get health insurance because of pre-existing conditions and is reducing the "donut hole" for Medicare drugs. Aren't these good things?

I am torn by Obama Care.
First it was done in a way that said to the American people that what you think about this does not matter, it is going to happen and you are going to like it!
Second, I don't think that Obama or anybody in government have ANY idea of how much this will save or cost. It is a guess based on bad politics and bad math.
Third, I think this will saddle my daughter and her family with a bill that the government, me, you, or anybody even has a small grasp on what this will really cost, if they say they do, they are lying!
Which brings me to the part where I am torn. I am not that far away from retiring and medicare and what you say would benefit me, but at what cost.
I plan on drawing my SSI when I am 62 but I also know that is on the backs of our sons and daughters! Now add on health care!!
I have to admit that thinking about maybe having a saftey net when I retire that may help protect my savings from health cost sounds great but am I going to have to save even more and use less of it in my retirement so I can give it to my daughter so she can pay for this "Good Deal" ???
I think it is a nice idea created in a bad way by bad polititians. Ones who would and have told us anything to get it passed and I am suprised that you think that it would all just turn out great, like say SSI. That is going so well right now. Our children are going to have to pay for that and health care.
And please don't tell me that health care is going to go down and cost us all less. That is just the party line.
