Obamacare isn't liked by most Americans.
It appears it will be expensive and lower the effectiveness of medical care in the US.
And it is likely to push many in the lower middle class into a poverty classification.

I am afraid it might pull you down the rung!!

Not me, personally.
But a lot of American families will probably become financially disadvantaged from it along with poorer health care.
That one of the negative results of socialism.

I've seen you post you support socialism and then post you don't.
What is your final answer?

Thank you, Captain Obvious.

You need some of this...for brain power!
11 Unusual Uses for Baby Oil -
Have you heard that joke about baby oil: If corn oil is made with corn and peanut oil is made with peanuts, then what is baby oil made with? Baby oil is made with mineral oil and fragrance by industrial professionals; babies don't have the fine motor skills or chemistry knowledge to create baby oil, duh.

I suspect that gets a big laugh in Pakistan.

I haven't really heard all of the ramifications of Obamacare but I know in Australia we have Medicare (which I believe is similar) which rebates our doctors visits - currently if the doctor is $60-$70 you are rebated around $35 back into your bank account. We also have bulk billing doctors where you don't pay at all. We have to have health insurance for just about everything else apart from public hospitals where treatment is usually free.

Recently our "genius" new government has suggested bringing in an extra $7 payment for bulk billing doctors meaning that a lot of Australians will stop seeking medical care. It was working well for some time and now with the proposed changes it is a little worrying, Tony Abbott is a moron and his government are no better. We are hoping the rest of the government (labour and greens) will oppose the proposed tax, but you never know.

99% of Australians are big supporters of Medicare, it is a very worthwhile operation. Obamacare is sounding a little bit suspect in comparison.

I've heard good things of it in Australia, but our version was poorly written and largely un-Constitutional.
Most of the law was unread by Congress and only passed because Obama had a majority in seats.
It was a bad law because it was never vetted properly for economic impact.
