Your boy, Obama is a goddamned disgrace to the office of the Presidency.
that is your opinion, and thanks for sharing.
However, I tend to rate my Presidents on what they do at home, not in the sand box. The fact Obama has added the ACA into law has me quite happy. My lovely GF does not have insurance and was not bale to find decent HC for years as she has no insurance. She can now find HC, and I thank the Commander in Chief for that.
so see, its all relative. Seriously, I don't give a flying F about Libya, I care about my family and their health.
Well as the say "it all depends on who's bull is being gored!"
The people who complain or want to change things are the ones who are being affected. On the other hand people who are not being affected often care very little.
An example from recent news: The Obama health care legislation included a tax on the use of tanning beds. The original idea was to tax voluntary cosmetic surgeries.
But the plastic surgeons were able to convince Congress to gore up someone else's ox.

The above comment sums up why I've been so against Obamacare in that in your case you are very personalized subjective situation is your GF MAY get health insurance.
THE Operative word though is MAY!!!!
And the reason is simple!
A) Obamacare was PASSED ON A LIE!
There never were 50 million people like your GF, uninsured! Of the supposedly 50 million including your GF:
1) 10 million are NOT CITIZENS... 2) 14 million ALREADY have Medicaid 3) 18 million DON"T WANT insurance as they are under 34, can buy but pay out of their own!
That leaves less then 8 million truly uninsured that need insurance!
BUT when they passed Obamacare on THIS MAJOR LIE and with such an gigantic bill that totally disrupts 100% of all our health coverage.. BASED ON that simple LIE???
It gets more complicated though!
OBVIOUSLY you are aware of how health financing works and YOU like MANY ignorant people BLAME insurance companies.
YOU obviously don't know that $600 billion a year is WASTED and passed on to payers.. ins. cos. Medicare this waste!
SO why didn't Obamacare go after this $600 billion a year in WASTE that directly translates into higher insurance premiums???
BECAUSE it was as 90% of physicians KNOW is their sending duplicate tests, referring to specialists $600 billion in waste ALL out of FEARS by the physicians!
FEARS that could have been reduced if Obama/Congress hadn't taken $300 million alone in 2008 from the vested interest party in NOT reducing these FEARS!!!
I this group had been taxed JUST aS tanning salons 100% of their $100 billion.. THAT $10 billion a year could have done several positive affects!
1) Provided COVERAGE in the form of a Premium for 8 million UNINSURED such as your GF!!!!
2) In turn directly tied to reducing the $600 billion in waste and in turn would reduced health insurance premiums!
BUT again being totally ignorant like millions who FALSELY believe ACA/Obamacare is GREAT YOU have NO IDEA!
If that $600 billion was reduced premiums reduced and your GF could get insurance as the other 8 million truly could WITHOUT DESTROYING HEALTH CARE for ALL of US!!!
