You may not like Obama Care but for me it will be helpful as my company has pulled the retiree healthcare we had been promised for, in my case, 23 years and COBRA only lasts for 18 months. (Not to mention they also pulled our retirement plan)
I have worked in hospital for all of my adult life and still do. If you don't think there is fraud and misuse of medical resources you must lead a very sheltered life.

Government controlled healthcare inevitably leads to some sort of rationing due to shortages of services and financing.
If you don't believe that the logical place for that rationing to occur here in the good ol' USA, as in all other nations who have national healthcare, is on the doorsteps of the elderly and those who have a negligible chance of full recovery, you'd have to be a bit naive.
