Why are Americans prodominantly against Obamacare?

It's true. People don't like change. But I suspect that if it were "McCainCare" or "BushCare" or even "RomneyCare", the same people protesting it so strongly now would be the ones who would support it 100%...

Your right, people always wants to hide what they really feel and try to sugar coated, or write something subliminal as to why. So funny how people try to disguise there true feelings. In fact, it is not even funny it is embarrassing.

I swear to god almighty that South Nassau communities hospital in Oceanside NY charged me 500 dollars for acetamenaphine in June of 2007.

I will look for the bill somewhere. If you don't believe me that's fine, but I have no reason to lie and I'm sure others here have seen the same thing.

To clarify, the bill wasn't 500 dollars, consisting of Tylenol and other things. It was neatly itemized and the Tylenol itlself was 500 dollars itself out of a 3200 dollar bill. My family and I were upset and laughing at the same time. I mean really. Come the eff on.

i'm actually supposed to get victims compensation for it but it's yet to be paid. my state is one of the worst regarding healthcare.

I am self employed, the only medical insurance i can get is thru BC-BS - for something with a reasonable deduction, I would have to pay over $1000 a month! There is no way I can afford that - only thing I can afford is high-deductible - I have a deductible of $15,000! For that I pay almost $300 a month. So not everyone with a job can afford healthcare that is any good.



Bull crap.. Do you even live here? If you have a job you can afford healthcare. Its not all that expensive but you have to go down and apply for a job,

People want something for nothing, govt healthcare, and you always get what you pay for. It amazes me that people want the govt to give them something they should be paying for themselves. These same people that love 0bamacare are the same people that would much rather pay to have the latest iPhone, flat screen tv, new car, most extensive cell phone plan, biggest boat on the pier, largest house in the neighborhood, instead of paying for their own health care. Truly mind boggling.

here is my issues with it. while i am all for the people having easy access to healthcare, i am not ok with the government making it mandatory. if i don't pick a plan, i get taxed? thanks obama but go f&^% yourself.

this "obamacare" is a blatant purchase by the insurance companies. car insurance is one thing, i may injure somebody else in an accident or they inure me. this is my own body we're talking about. so if i choose not to pick an insurance plan i get taxed? bs. another purchase by the insurance companies.

amazing how BLIND all of you people are to accept this just because it came from your liar in chief.

I had to stop reading after the first page.. I have never seen so many brainwashed anti freedom loving liberal Americans reach the level of blind stupidity they have in this thread.

seriously. i can't believe how many people are happy about this. and somebody mentioned if it came from "my team" i would be ok with it. WRONG. i don't care if ron paul himself suggested this, i would not be ok with it.

any time government mandates free will, we lose plain and simple. what's next? if i don't purchase stock in wal-mart and apple i am going to get taxed?

This thread has a lot of psychopaths posting in it.

Well said - and the ones who are happy about this are the ones who will be receiving the freebies.

actually no.
SurveyUSA conducted the poll, not The Huffington Post.

So you see, regardless of who publishes, prints or reports this figure; 77% is still majority.
I think even Glenn Beck himself would agree with that.

Yeah, that's it. If they just rename it RonPaulCare then I would suddenly fall in love with the idea of insurance companies making billions of dollars a year by sucking it away from doctors and patients. All that stuff I said on page 4 was just subliminals and sugar coating.

Maybe I'm not giving this legislation a fair shake. It's all about affordable health care, right? Maybe I should call up my insurance company and tell THEM how much I can afford to pay. If they refuse to insure me at that price, then they are breaking the law by not providing me with affordable insurance, and I'm sure I can count on the full weight of the Obama Administration and the IRS to come crashing down on their heads. After all, this legislation is to help the people, not the insurance companies, right?

i so hard at this. just because they are ok with this since it's their "team" must mean the rest of us are against this bribery because it's not "ronpaulcare". ATS should have an ignorance filter

you answered your own question in your OP

people don't like it because it is FORCING people to buy something that they can't afford. it's not like they are giving the insurance away for free. they have given the power to the insurer's.

i dont want to be forced into a business agreement.

Hardstepah, I am so tired of the whole "team" routine myself.

Neo96, god bless him, make it abundantly clear how awful the situation becomes when you get caught up in its snare. He was obviously upste about the ruling and went on a mini-rant that the GOP should receive credit for the bill because they were in favor of a mandate even 20 years ago.
To say that is sad is an understatement. It's like he isn't in the least concerned with the actual situation as much as he is upset that "his team" lost the ruling.

We all need to stop this way of thinking. Through non economic issues like abortion and gay rights and gun control, we have become divided to the extreme. Yet no matter which social issue side you're associated with, both parties are continually striving to only further the agenda of giant business. This couldn't be more clear with the recent ruling on ACA, and the fact that Romeny is the other choice now. The godfather of insurance mandate himself.

Lets all ask ourselves a very important and overdue question, ATS............when was the last time either party really did something which was not poll, politically, or financially driven for themselves, for the American people?
We live within the intangible confines of a profit and control driven government and we argue about the recent scorecard. How backwards have we become? How do we start to repair what is so glaringly destroyed?
