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.

No, Obama care does not help the current healthcare right now so keeping it wouldn't change anything
@9PF4JQRIndependence1yr1Y
every single human being should be able to get free healthcare as a whole the state has no business with healthcare nor do corporations.
@8G926PJIndependence5yrs5Y
its your choice if you wanna pay the more expensive choice but if you dont want to cause you're in a bad state then do state care
@947C247Independence3yrs3Y
Yes but should start at a lower fee.
@946Y3QPIndependence3yrs3Y
Interesting I think it sounds great but I also do not think it is ok for the government to make decisions about a person healthcare so again this is a tough one.
@943NZ9XIndependence3yrs3Y
not enough is being done for cost of Healthcare to be affordable, while receiving adequate treatment. We must stop greed and profiting off of sick people.
@9427J36Independence3yrs3Y
Healthcare is a human right and we should all have access to affordable Healthcare
@9256PL8Independence3yrs3Y
health care should be free for all Americans.
@8ZDSNSBIndependence3yrs3Y
no, but the prices should be regulated, and if something happens the insurance company should have to pay a percentage based on the monthly plan with no requirement on the customer to pay a yearly requirement.
@8XTLL4GIndependence4yrs4Y
I don't really know that much about the Obamacare program.
@8XTLKDVIndependence4yrs4Y
I don´t really know about the obamacare program.
@8X8G8QSIndependence4yrs4Y
Honestly, as much as I should care, I don't as much for this. So yes it seems nice as medical service and insurance companies may now have restrictions that help prevent some unreasonable charges on their people, how much of this is really getting controlled? So yes-no.
@8VNFY5FIndependence4yrs4Y
yes, but we should reduce who can apply and open the markets to compete across state lines
@8V7BKM8Independence4yrs4Y
Overall, Obamacare is a great program, save for the part where people are penalized money for not being able to afford it in the first place. It doesn't make sense.
@8TQQXYRIndependence4yrs4Y
As long as it's not used for political purposes.
@8R3LZ5GIndependence4yrs4Y
There should be some form of universal health care.
@8MNZ9V9Independence5yrs5Y
I do support the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) because it´s helps older people to afford their medicine at a low but cheap price,but no,because,I think that Obamacare or Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act,do not lower prices for medicine for young people and put a high tax on medicine for young people.
@8L55SHTIndependence5yrs5Y
I support a portion of it. However, it is now outdated and needs to be revised, as it should also be opened to more people.
@8D69X3KIndependence5yrs5Y
Honestly it would be better to have Universal Health Care
@99J9LMFIndependence2yrs2Y
i haven't looked into this so i don't have an opinion
@97XLRVQIndependence3yrs3Y
Yes, I support a majority of the plan but not all aspects, and open the markets so insurers can compete across state lines and reduce costs, while adding a public option.
@973DQSZIndependence3yrs3Y
While better than previous systems it could still be better and improved.
@8Y8CZDSIndependence4yrs4Y
Yes, but I don't like how drug users can abuse it
@8XYDVXJIndependence4yrs4Y
Remove the middle man. And if you keep insurance it should be like Car insurance. Only for big emergencies.
@8RZ94JPIndependence4yrs4Y
It needs to be revised, as it does provide affordable healthcare, but at a cost of the individual's income. My family personally had problems with keeping up on bills because of the act. There were still people who couldn't afford it. There needs to be a better way about paying for the act.
@9CG5QKWIndependence2yrs2Y
Yes, and it should be expanded to include a public health insurance option.
