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.

All Healthcare should be free.
@9LCN7TP1yr1Y
Healthcare should be free for all citizens of the US its unfair we get taxed for everything and still need to pay to survive
@9KJPWNQ1yr1Y
No, no one should be fined for not having health insurance especially since it's often the case that they cannot afford it. People should not be forced to have healthcare and instead, there should be free healthcare for everyone.
@9K5PF7F1yr1Y
Like I said in a previous question, the government should own all health care and provide it with no costs to all US Citizens
Yes, however I feel as though the execution did not go as planned and we should be more mindful about how large scale decisions like that will affect citizens and users.
@96T25MS3yrs3Y
Should be adaptable Case by case scenario US citizens only
@968N95J3yrs3Y
@9673CJV3yrs3Y
Some aspects. Our health care system is still broken.
@94QNRPW3yrs3Y
yes but those who have problem that are not self-infected
@93MVNJR3yrs3Y
Yes, but add a public option and import cheaper medicines from abroad
@937QZY73yrs3Y
Yes, it is better than without. However healthcare should be free completely as it is a basic human right in today's world.
@8Y79LD74yrs4Y
Yes but its policies and taxes should be reformed/re-examined
@8Y2J9WMIndependent4yrs4Y
Yes, most of it, but a single-payer system should replace it soon.
@8W7N6QVIndependent4yrs4Y
people take advantage so they should have to work for it
@8W67JLW4yrs4Y
No, too many government entitlements lead to a lazy populous.
@8W33BF64yrs4Y
Get rid of that and make a plan to give healthcare to everyone as a human right
@8VX2QRG4yrs4Y
Yes, but it should be mandated at the state level, not the federal level.
@8TZRBD54yrs4Y
Dont understand enough about topic to answer
@8RSPW444yrs4Y
Health insurance should not be linked to employment
@8RGPK69Libertarian4yrs4Y
Allow consumers to have their own private healthcare but also work on devising a plan of universal healthcare to the Americans who can’t afford private healthcare services.
@8MSXXPCLibertarian5yrs5Y
No, but I would support a public option
@8MSKDVX5yrs5Y
I neither support it nor unsupport it.
@8K99LT45yrs5Y
No, but there should be some type of universal healthcare unlike the ACA.
@8K3B7K65yrs5Y
Make it available to all people regardless of income
@8HLMS3W5yrs5Y
Yes to some degree. Plans should have better coverage and be MUCH more affordable. More effort needs to be done in the aspect of the medical industry and the astronomical costs and charges made by physician’s and medical facilities. More could be done to reduce costs there and would be required to reduce health insurance providers costs in premiums, and they could use an overhaul as well in regard to not having such overhead costs at insurance companies. I like the idea of universal healthcare, but only if all people are able to receive high quality care and not wait forever for a dr appt
@8H6YL8Q5yrs5Y
I think it should be an option, not mandatory
@8GN3TDQ5yrs5Y
yes and no there are some flaws but it is also good
@8GMXXDK5yrs5Y
Not informed enough about the issue to take a stance.
@8DXRV5H5yrs5Y
Health care in the US has become big business and until that is fixed there will be no true affordable care.
@8DTWWBGIndependent5yrs5Y
Healthcare should not be tied to employment and should not be privatized
@8D9BBCJ5yrs5Y
I support the idea, but the implementation made healthcare unaffordable for many middle class people.
I support free universal healthcare funded by the state, so the workers can afford it.
@8CF3MHN5yrs5Y
No, people shouldn't be forced to be insured. Government should provide health plan for fixed incomes.
yes but universal healthcare is better
@93849XQ3yrs3Y
Healthcare should be free like candy does
@926PZNVWomen’s Equality3yrs3Y
sorry I don't really know what this is I'm not big own politics
@8V8CKML4yrs4Y
Don´t know enough about Obamacare.
@8DFDVJP5yrs5Y
no we shouldn't be forced to have to have something. "affordable" isn't affordable to everyone.
@2HVXD535yrs5Y
Healthcare should be afforded to all without high costs premiums or copays. The affordability of healthcare in the US is outrageous, all employers should provide free healthcare to their employees and insurance companies shouldn't be allowed to change so much to companies. There should be caps put on insurance companies and pharmaceuticals should be sold at decent costs, considering medicaid can be made for pennies.
@LSL4Q95yrs5Y
No, I support a socialized, universal single-payer system.
