It kept me alive through chemo, radiation and bone marrow transplant for 2 years.

Maybe, If it wasn't fought at every turn it might have been better.

Personally I would prefer a single-payer/Medicare-for-all system, but what we have is better than before.

Single payer system, non-for-profit hospitals, and total pharmaceutical over site.

At the moment, it's the best thing we have. Any effort to 'fix' it will just make it worse. What we really need is single payer full coverage healthcare for all, and we need it soon because of this country's current demographic.

As long as profits are a large part of what drives healthcare, paying for it will always be a problem.

? who voted no? (funny sentence).
It was disclosed on NPR that surveys showed a large number of people said to get rid of 'Obamacare' but don't take away their affordable healthcare. This is beyond crazy. Yes let's get rid of the term 'Obamacare' and just have 'affordable care'. Obviously words matter!

Funny.... we can fund via government our national defense but we can't fund our national healthcare. Very Funny!!!!!

we need a single-payer health system in this country. We need to demand the lawmakers put this into effect as soon as possible.!!! PUBLIC DEMAND IT FROM THE LAWMAKERS!!!!

\Yes, but what we need even more is universal single payer healthcare -- like ALL other industrialized nations in the world!

Free healthcare

We need to go further. Get the damned pharmaceutical companies out of it. In the U.S. People don't take care of themselves because of the enormous copay's. We ignore injuries and such because we can afford it. Many people go bankrupt because of these bills. Countries the have universal health care are much more happier than we are.

we need to put the lawmakers on the same Health care system that everybody else is using. If the lawmakers were on the public system we would get a better health-care program maybe ones that works for e everybody. Our leaders are not protecting the people they're supposed to protect.
DO YOUR JOB LAWMAKERS!!!!!

I think we need a non-profit single payer universal healthcare system, where medicine is aobut preventing and curing disease, rather than out current system of "managing" disease to make greater profits.

As a Canadian I pity you, healthcare is a human right, the fact that this is even a debate is absurd to me and makes my glad I don't have to live in a third world nation like you.

The solution we need was the original version before the GOP watered it down. Back then, it was called Health Care REFORM. They took the REFORM out of it, thus the continued high costs.

I am for it in that it's a step in the right direction. We need Medicare for All though...or something that provides care for all citizens regardless of income. A lot of the problems with the ACA have been related to the fact that they didn't include a public option. That being said, I have personally benefited from he expansion of Medicaid and am grateful for that. We can do better though for all people of this country though.

Making it a crime (even a misdominer) for not dealing with sleeze bag insurance companies, is insane. I think this was supposed to be a wind fall for them. I find it kind of funny that lots of them backed out when it didn't work. I mean really, is that the best we can do?

Oh, yeah, it was the right choice.

My great-grandfather died from what's believed to have been a brain tumor but he didn't get much care being a laborer in the early 1900s. My father-in-law was a carpenter who only got care for a mid-century, on-the-job foot injury that turned gangrenous after joining a union. It has to be an intentional disregard/disdain for the working class that's kept healthcare as a privilege for the elite. As for me, after working and paying into insurance plans for 25+ years, I've been dependent on an ACA plan since I was laid off a year ago - or at least on the butchered version Texas worked up - and it's been quite an education. Texas has the largest percentage of uninsured of any state.

I am for the single payer system.The insurance company inclusion in this was strong armed in. THat part I do not like

No, republicans turned it into a tax.

Thank you for calling it the ACA. It is best if we don't let the racists and bigots drag more people into their pool of willful ignorance and hatred by succumbing to the trappings of the connotative meanings of their verbiages.

I need to add a new development on this. As some may know our 'government' is trying to censor certain words from the CDC and HHS. One of those terms is Affordable Healthcare. Only Obamacare is to be allowed.

your insurance companies coupled with your big pharma and private hospitals are raping you daily. national health ,where there is NO PROFIT , but for the people, is the way to go. In manitoba they even have socialized car insurance where the fees are 1/3 of what we pay
