Obamacare was a necessary evil. I applaud him for it. He spent political capital and took a hit, but he knew something had to get done. If not now, when? The answer may be never.
So he got a flawed bill passed through Congress. It will be tweaked, amended, or possibly even repealed and replaced, but something will stay on the books and we'll be better for it in the long run. The old system was unsustainable and unacceptable. The new system may be so flawed that it's worse in the short run, but if this Congress and President didn't get it done, it probably wasn't ever going to happen. That's the truth and I'm glad he got something on the books to get the ball rolling.
