Sorry ssphoto, We can agree to disagree. Socialism is bad in all its forms. In order to make healthcare affordable, you cannot take from from group of people to give to another using government to rob the one group and have government redistribute the loot to others.
Prior to Medicare/Medicaid and government involvement in Healthcare, Helathcare consumed less than 8% of GDP. Now it consumes roughly 19% of GDP. What changed? The easy answer is government setting prices that it would pay no questions asked via these programs. This is the PRIMARY cause of out of control costs. Government has eliminated competition. More government is not the answer.
And Sorry, life is not fair. How much should you be forced to pay for my medical bills? If I need 2 million in medical services and cannot afford them, can I have government confiscate 50% of you income for the rest of your life to pay for me? This really what socialism/communism/Marxism is all about.
Why not just be responsible for your own healthcare costs? Why steal from someone else to pay for your costs?
Obamacare is a train wreck. Abe Lincoln once said that the best way to get rid of a really bad law was to enforce in vigorously, without mercy, and let it collapse of it's own weight. That is exactly what the Republicans are doing. Financially it will collapse within a few years unless government increases the amount it steals and redistributes to democrats. Let it die. It is just another perfect example of government interference in the free market driving up costs dramatically. Without Obamacare, healthcare costs would have increased at the 4.5% per year dictated by Medicare/Medicaid. With Obamacare they are now increasing at 18-22% per year. If you are not a freeloader, are you really better off being robbed to pay someone else?
