It's good to hear from someone that's experienced another system. I would rather have that system than one that caters to the big corporations and corrupt officials. ObamaCare just shifted the burden of the uninsured directly onto the tax payers, through subsidies, from the insurance companies and hospitals that billed higher for it. It's a BS system that allows the Obama administration to look at statistics and say, "Wow, look at how many people are insured now!"

I've been unemployed for 9 months and now have to pay the individual mandate for 6 of those months. I think the Supreme Court was bought or blackmailed on that one. We need a system, but not this one and it can't be opt-in or get fined! Maybe a sales tax would work.
