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.

@8ZV74CR3yrs3Y
No, the united states should have free health care
@9242PSZ3yrs3Y
No, it is paid for by taxes and people can go into the ER for any reason so it should be limited to only severe cases.
@dandyman4yrs4Y
Yes, but reduce regulations so insurers can compete across state lines and reduce costs

No, government should not be involved in healthcare unless it applies to federal employees.
@8YR4P6T3yrs3Y
No, we need to replace obamacare with the senate plan
Deleted4yrs4Y
No, I actually support Medicare For All or a universal healthcare system.
Deleted4yrs4Y
No, I prefer a singer payer healthcare system instead
Deleted4yrs4Y
No, I prefer a single payer healthcare system instead
@8LH35JY4yrs4Y
it is a love hate relationship
Deleted4yrs4Y
No, create a public health insurance option for all citizens, and open the markets so insurers can compete across state lines.
Deleted4yrs4Y
No, we should switch to a single payer system
Deleted4yrs4Y
No, it should be repealed and replaced with a single-payer system
@8FVBGSV4yrs4Y
Yes but the healthcare system should be overhauled. There should be free universal health care but people should also be able to pay for private healthcare.
Deleted3yrs3Y
No, but Congress should take its time to find a working solution that most people can agree on, as well as the government should fix the faults that it had instead of replacing it
Deleted3yrs3Y
No, but Congress should take its time to fix the faults and find a working solution that most people can agree on, instead of replacing Obamacare. I believe it is a start to something we have needed for many years, just fix the things that are broke, competition across state lines and primarily the ridiculous costs of healthcare
@8CQFL7Z4yrs4Y
Yes i agree but they should at limits for the people who abuse it
@8CRXW6C4yrs4Y
Implement healthcare like France
Deleted5yrs5Y
No. Some of the concepts are good in theory, but the lack of competition is driving up the costs and decreasing the quality.
@78S5M874yrs4Y
open the markets so insurers can compete across state lines and reduce costs
@8FPPV324yrs4Y
Yes, but only if it's not mandatory. Mandating health coverage is not freedom and is unconstitutional
Deleted4yrs4Y
No, no one should be penalized for not having health insurance. Absurd
Deleted3yrs3Y
No, but Congress should take its time to find a working solution that most people can agree on, instead of replacing Obamacare; keep until a better one has been passed.
@8XKDQN23yrs3Y
Lets just make health care free for everyone
Deleted3yrs3Y
No, but Congress should take its time to find a working solution that most people can agree on, instead of replacing Obamacare.

Deleted3yrs3Y
No, but Congress should take its time to find a working solution that most people can agree on, instead of replacing Obamacare; keep until a better one has been passed. (#1 and #5 are the best options)
Deleted3yrs3Y
No, healthcare should not be controlled by the government and should be run by the states/local governments instead. Private healthcare should at the same time be an option for those who can afford high quality medical care, but I do support some reform of the private healthcare system, insurance and medical costs, to allow for reasonably priced private healthcare, which should be optional, and let consumers choose providers at an affordable price.
Deleted3yrs3Y
No, switch to a single payer healthcare system with copayments and supplementary private insurers.
@8HC3YGR4yrs4Y
No, I think all healthcare should be free

Deleted3yrs3Y
No, I support universal healthcare coverage, but government-sponsored healthcare should be handled by state governments instead. However, there should be some form of assistance for the people under the poverty line from a federal level and then we should regulate the prices of prescription drugs to reduce costs.
@8K4ZGWF4yrs4Y
The government should establish a National Health System the way the United Kingdom has.
@8LQKG6C4yrs4Y
I don't really know about it that much.
@8K2J6K34yrs4Y
Government subsidised health care is a good idea but shouldnt be forced upon the people. The option for privatised health care and public is important.
@8MNYGHJ4yrs4Y
yes i do support it but i think the goverment should charge more people tax dollars for reduced costing health care
Deleted3yrs3Y
Yes, but private healthcare should at the same time be an option for those who can afford high quality medical care, while supporting some reform of the private healthcare system, insurance and medical costs, to allow for reasonably priced healthcare, which should be optional, and let consumers choose providers at an affordable price.
Deleted3yrs3Y
Yes, but private healthcare should at the same time be an option for those who can afford high quality medical care, and implement more reforms to the private healthcare system, insurance and medical costs, to allow for reasonably priced healthcare, and allow consumers to choose providers at an affordable price. It should be done mainly through non-profits.
Deleted3yrs3Y

@8YP5JYJ3yrs3Y
No, this act only forces people to pay for insurance they cannot afford. We should create a universal healthcare system instead.
@8ZF8B243yrs3Y
No, an effort for reduction of repeat testing and transparency of care would drive down costs.
@8Q8RMYM4yrs4Y
Obamacare has thrown an unbelievable amount of money down the drain, once again i support cheaper healthcare, but governments stimulating the system with unlimited money basically gives no incentive to lower costs without it.
@5BMX4XT3yrs3Y
No.. Institute a National Health Insurance Model like Canada & South Korea.
@8QJQQGQ4yrs4Y
Yes, and further it to ensure universal coverage in the country
@8QG5XSM4yrs4Y
it should be up to the person
@8QNP2M54yrs4Y
No, but programs should remain existing to help the poor. The free market does the best at deciding need let the market work with proper checks and balances.
@8QNKSKF4yrs4Y
This program is one of the worst programs Obama and his administration did . This has caused so many issues for citizens
@5643HNN4yrs4Y
Yes, but a combination of single-player and private organization would offer the most choices to all
@8C9RYD75yrs5Y
no because universal health care sounds good but then doctors wont work as hard and you wont get treated as good.
@8XTPJMC3yrs3Y
yes but no because people just don't work then
@6K36GJH4yrs4Y
No, it doesn't actually help everyone like they said in theory.
@8LHBBC54yrs4Y
i support its goal but some aspects of the plan are a little wishy-washy for me, I need to learn more about it
@88LK76J4yrs4Y
Yes but don’t pay for it through taxes
@88LK76J4yrs4Y
Yes but fund it through an authorized grant not taxes
@88LK76J4yrs4Y
Yes but fund it through authorized grants not taxes
@88LK76J4yrs4Y
Yes but don’t fund it through taxes
@88LK76J4yrs4Y

@88LK76J4yrs4Y
Yes but allow people to choose their own healthcare
@88LK76J4yrs4Y
Yes but allow people to choose their own insurance
@8TCG4TJ4yrs4Y
doesn't really effect me
@8WPC6NZ3yrs3Y
don't make healthcare crazy outrageous but easier to pay for
@8KLYSSW4yrs4Y
@6HDD83R4yrs4Y
- Support free and public healthcare (for those who qualify)
- Officially nationalize all health institutions, where the employees of said health institutions are government employees.
- The U.S. government shall only support any medical procedures with a success rate of 51% or higher
- The U.S. federal government shall cover 50% of the cost of healthcare (while the states, U.S. territories, and Washington D.C., shall cover for the other 50%).
- Only essential and/or beneficial medical procedures (both surgical and non-surgical) shall be covered by the state
- Taxes, tariffs, fees, profi… Read more
@8QQ5NLZ3yrs3Y
Yes, but socialized medicine would be even better
@8PBY8XC4yrs4Y
I support the idea, but I would also like for citizens to have the option to have their own private healthcare accounts.
@95S7WDY2yrs2Y
yes but we should not have to sacrifice quality healthcare for affordable care
@7G3G2W33yrs3Y
Yes, but socializing healthcare would be ideal
@6WS2R4W5yrs5Y
No, it effectively did nothing to decrease the costs of healthcare to the middle class
@8MQ5M2H4yrs4Y
I agree with some, but not all of the policies in obamacare.
@8R7JPB54yrs4Y
Healthcare is a necessity for a healthy life, we must begin looking at ways to remove the profit motive from healthcare.
@93GHPLP3yrs3Y
Yes, for the most part, but we should move away from it.
@8HJXV5R4yrs4Y
I don´t know what this is.
@38LNC724yrs4Y
No, either making a universal health care for all -or- open the markets so insurers can compete across state lines and reduce costs. Either would be better as the system we have is anti-competitive with big giveaways to Pharma/Insurance which is why Americans pay more than any other country for health care.
@2HN4HSX4yrs4Y
No, I support the spirit of the plan, giving everyone helthcare. However, forcing a product on the population by government mandate with the consequences of fines or even jailtime is unconstitutional and immoral.
@63ZXW6N4yrs4Y
I dislike the requirement to have it. But aside from that, there should be a public healthcare option available.
@63ZXW6N3yrs3Y
No, I dislike the requirement to have it. But aside from that, there should be a public healthcare option available.
@68QRLZT4yrs4Y
Yes, I believe it is a good start, but I would like to work towards establishing a healthcare system similar to Germany's healthcare system
@6VFYRRC3yrs3Y
I support some aspects but not all of them.
@6WHP7WC4yrs4Y
No, but we should offer a national Public Option to compete with private insurance.
@6RW5J4M4yrs4Y
Yes, but I prefer abolishing government insurance while mandating private insurance, paid via payroll taxes
@6RW5J4M4yrs4Y
No, and I prefer abolishing government insurance while mandating private insurance, paid via payroll taxes
@77HLCHH4yrs4Y
No, I favor repealing Obamacare and replacing it with a French style universal multi-payer system.
@Biasterror924yrs4Y
No, it should just be free.
@kgtiberius4yrs4Y
I support the concept but not the implementation. Create a split system where basic needs and medicine are provided by our military facilities and more advanced or elective medical needs (such as cancer, cosmetic surgery, or personal choice of doctors) should be private insurance.
@MilesBHuff4yrs4Y
No, but we should offer limited universal healthcare.
@7F2MM2F3yrs3Y
No, a single payer healthcare system would be better than a mandate system
