>> I am happy that it will offer healthcare to millions of Americans that couldn't get it in the past
@derp:
Â
yeah, healthcare that paid for with other people's money. why should hardworking people be responsible for the healthcare of those too lazy to go out and get a job and pay for their own?

@TreHawks: Millions of Americans don't have healthcare because their employers do not have the means necessary to offer a healthcare plan by forking over half the costs associated making healthcare available to their employees. I just don't understand how Replublicans are OK with the current system that ties employees to a job just so they can recieve healthcare benefits. Health care should be affordable to an individual without their employer having to pay for half of it. The current system: 1. Ties employess to a job they may not be productive at or like just so they can recieve health insurance 2. Severely harms small businesses who cannot afford healthcare benefits for their employees.  I hate that the only way for an American to recieve health insurance is through their employer. Otherwise it is simply too expensive to handle, that is how expensive healthcare costs have become. I haven't heard much of a peep out of Republicans regarding the problem of employers having to take on the tremendous extra weight that health insurance costs them. Rather, most just complain that "Obamacare" is a bad idea.
