From what I read, it sounds as though some posters are against the mandate for insurance companies to provide health insurance to those with pre-existing conditions. That certainly is COLD. Just imagine if one of those with a pre-existing condition were you, your spouse, or your family. Would it safe to say you would still be against the coverage for pre-existing conditions?
Remember, also, that it was a Republican appointee (Chief Justice Roberts) who declared the individual mandate to be constitutional.
Golfingnuts is right when he says this law will be one of the major triumphs in Presidential history - like Social Security and Medicare. Without both of those, our society would be far worse off. How many of you would be as comfortable as you are without Social Security or Medicare?
I have also heard the fear factor brought up that physicians will become scarce due to Obamacare because they cannot make a profit anymore. It is a known fact that there is currently a record number of students applying for medical school across the USA. Some of the old timers are retiring but there is a fresh crop with new skills ready to take their places.
