The Affordable Care Act is a federal statute signed into law in 2010 that introduces a sweeping overhaul of the nation’s healthcare system. The act grants the federal government significant regulatory powers and price controls over U.S. medical service providers and insurance companies. The Act’s landmark provisions included an insurance mandate which prohibited insurers from denying coverage to individuals due to preexisting conditions and insurance requirements for individual children who did not have coverage via their families. The Act also required states to set up and main…

half and half. we are on the right track but not there yet. The effect it has had on the middle class is too high to agree with the ACA
@9L5KQNH1yr1Y
It sounds good on paper but it talks more about universal healthcare than how to actually execute and achieve it.
@8R6ZZTD4yrs4Y
No, instead have Medicare for all.
@95TBBGL3yrs3Y
I think Healthcare should be free.
@95K8VWMLibertarian3yrs3Y
should be free healthcare like Canada
@8ZYTBM6Republican3yrs3Y
Yes, but shouldn’t be a Pennelly
I am neither for or against Obamacare
@8Z735VC3yrs3Y
If people are trying in life and working and need assistance for health care they should get help until they can take car of it themselves but not take advantage of it.
@8Z6V46L3yrs3Y
The stance should be a perfect balance of Bernie Sanders and a Conservative plan
@8YYXWTT3yrs3Y
The government should not be able to make medicine and healthcare extremely expensive and overpriced
@8Y49NJ24yrs4Y
No, replace with Universal Healthcare
@8XVY7N24yrs4Y
I do not care about obamacare
@8VLXNGJ4yrs4Y
it doesnt concern me and i have no answer
@8SJ5YSB4yrs4Y
No. I think the entire healthcare system needs to be fixed
@8S3LLY34yrs4Y
free health care for all please and thank you
@8RYV4BP4yrs4Y
No abolish capitalism, we need a universal decentrally planned healthcare system.
@8RXWJNB4yrs4Y
I support a public and private option, given that the public option can compete with the private options.
@8RXN9XG4yrs4Y
I don't have a opinion about this
@8RP3BBT4yrs4Y
Should have more like "Medicare or Medicaid"; feel it hurts more people than it helps.
@8QTNPK44yrs4Y
I don't understand this but I believe healthcare should cost a reasonable amount
@8PTQV455yrs5Y
Obama care sucked it did nothing
@8PHRNV35yrs5Y
No, but keep protections for patients with conditions and keep kids on their parents insurance until 26.
@8MWVK555yrs5Y
I support some of the plan but it allowed the insurance companies to take advantage of the system At the expense of patients/consumers.
@8MQ48XW5yrs5Y
whats patient protection?
@8MPPGSK5yrs5Y
Healthcare should be provided to all by the community.
@8MMGGRF5yrs5Y
I think the government should find a way to make healthcare more accessible. The price should be very low, or under better circumstances, free.
@8M58829Independent5yrs5Y
Agree with Healthcare for all, but Obamacare has a lot of flaws and favors big corporations.
@8M4WM8M5yrs5Y
I do until the Republicans present a better plan. Otherwise, no.
@8M2ML4M5yrs5Y
It depends, I heard good things about it, and I mostly heard BAD things about it. But what I want is a healthcare system that is an equal price that is convenient to the middle-class, and lower-class people, no overpriced atrocities
@AustinCass98Independent5yrs5Y
I do, and I don't. I think ObamaCare should make something free, such as urgent care, well checkups, and consoling meetings free. However, it should allow private health care companies to be added on for people who can pay for it. Also, limit prices from rising so that regular working Americans can pay for it.
@8KRVQ6N5yrs5Y
don't really have proper knowledge on it.
@8JK8SM35yrs5Y
if the government wants to ensure affordable healthcare, regulate the insurance companies instead
@8HJ56VT5yrs5Y
I don't if I am yes or no on this question.
@8H2VJDQ5yrs5Y
Governemnt shouldnt provide free healthcare but should help regulate the prices
@8H24WHD5yrs5Y
No I don't understand why anyone should have a right to essentially bum off of me through extra taxes when we live in a country based around effort and work.
@8G8YW8K5yrs5Y
No, I think that a vast majority of it is flawed and should be repealed and replaced with a better plan.
@8FZDWL4Independent5yrs5Y
No, Obama Care was a disaster. Anytime the government tries running a business or program federally, it always ends horribly.
@8D3GRZS5yrs5Y
Frick Obamacare more like Obamasquare
@8CYF45T5yrs5Y
Yes, I support majority of the plan but also believe that it is up to people to choose their own healthcare provider/plan
@8CN4TLJ5yrs5Y
Healthcare should be parallel with certain rights but premiums could create new flexibility. Too many doctors are just doing the standard anyway... a free to premium upgrade is probably how it will go anyway
@Shewolfwarrior285yrs5Y
Privatized plans should be offered to the majority of Americans But those who can’t afford it or are below the poverty line the gov should offer breaks too help them afford it.
@8CKQM365yrs5Y
I support universal healthcare with the possibility of additional private healthcare
@9CZFMMJ2yrs2Y
No. Open the markets so insurers can compete across state lines and reduce costs. But keep protections for people with pre- existing conditions and keep children on their parents insurance until 26.
@9BYCVGS2yrs2Y
Government should only be allowed to set prices if they are lower than the prices that the medication is being sold for. The government should also provide healthcare for people who cannot afford it.
@9BK93WGRepublican2yrs2Y
I don't pay attention to this stuff.
@9B9KXF9Republican2yrs2Y
No, our privatized healthcare is part of the reason we have so many innovations in healthcare
@99HYHH22yrs2Y
No, implement a single-payer system instead
@997V9LL2yrs2Y
I don´t really get what Obamcare is.
@996CKS32yrs2Y
I am uniformed on the matter.
@98Z8GFT2yrs2Y
I am indifferent to Obamacare.
@988MHRH3yrs3Y
Some of it is ok and should be an option for people but there should he a more open market to help reduce costs.
@97BDS9M3yrs3Y
Yes, only to working individuals and families.
@974WQSP3yrs3Y
Should be a temporary measure until a private market option can be obtained VIA employment
@8ZYH73C3yrs3Y
Johnquavious Figglebottom
@8ZVJNP73yrs3Y
I know nothing about this act.
@8Y8CZDSIndependence4yrs4Y
Yes, but I don't like how drug users can abuse it
@8KYYRJR5yrs5Y
Private and governmentally funded option
@8J2ZXDR5yrs5Y
I support universal heathcare. Obamacare is great but not everyone is covered with it.
@8GD256D5yrs5Y
Yes, but only to an extent.
@8G8Z3GNRepublican5yrs5Y
No, but I support certain aspects like protection for preexisting conditions
@8R7JPB5Libertarian4yrs4Y
Healthcare is a necessity for a healthy life, we must begin looking at ways to remove the profit motive from healthcare.
@9C6G9MJ2yrs2Y
healthcare shouldnt exist
@8DN4WYN5yrs5Y
The government should encourage a "free market" in healthcare. As an attorney who spent a number of years representing hospitals the over-regulation of insurance has actually resulted in absurdly additive healthcare costs for administrative purposes. Any further expansion into healthcare by the government is actually counterproductive and will not reduce healthcare costs. When has the government ever taken control of a part of the economy and actually made it fair or equitable? Never...
