Would also like to hear from the women who are now eligible for free preventive services, effective Aug 1, 2012, and also those young people who are allowed to stay on their parents insurance policies until they are 26 years old.
How about people with pre-existing conditions who can't be discriminated against or people who can't be dropped because you got sick, or people who won't have lifetime caps put on their insurance? Let's hear from some of these individuals about how they feel about the ACA and not from people on Medicare.
These are all facets of the ACA that Mitt Romney will be taking away from people when he repeals the ACA as promised, with no promises of any replacement.

The 50 million figure is inflated it is more like 10 million all of whom have access to health care. No one is arguing against dropping pre-existing limitation including uber -con. Lifetime caps are seldom if ever met.
When the Supreme Court ruled ObamaCare individual mandate a tax health care stock went through the roof...meaning that if people believe hosiptals et al over charge now just wait until the government completely takes over.
There are many people and corporations that believe it is cheaper to pay the penalty then to join ObamaCare.
Clearly we need to make adjustments to our present healthcare system but to throw the baby out with the bathwater and into a money pit no less is just not economically smart
