He is pandering. That's what happens in elections. He is my question what does he propose going back to what we had which almost everyone thought it wad getting too expensive and less consumer friendly? Does he support insurers using more income to corporate bonuses?
What does he propose to fix the problem. Its easy to demolish anything building it is what takes time.

Well, you brought out the crickets, which is no surprise. It works like this-

If Obama care is so great make it voluntary.

That isn't necessarily such a bad idea. People could permanently waive their eligibility to be able to participate in Medicare and any sort of government-funded health care (emergency room visits without having any insurance or inadequate insurance) and go it on their own.

Those free marketers who think they're so smart will have plenty of fun if they (1) actually get sick and need health care but find their laissez-faire market policies rescinded by a private health insurance company's death panel, (2) get sick and find themselves unable to pay for insurance any longer (it's difficult to work when you're suffering from cancer), and/or (3) reach an older age when insurance companies no longer want to even offer insurance.

It would be funny watching them die off wondering why the free market failed to provide affordable health care for them.

Really, the aca is working? If anything the aca is going to help trap millions of people in poverty.

The subsidies the aca created is a dis-insensitive to work. It is clearly a dis-insensitive to better yourself.

Does the ACA remove the incentive to want to be able to have a car, have a house, to be able to live in an area with good schools, to be able to take vacations, and to be able to afford better food?

Do you really think that having health care is the only incentive to work and to better one's self?

If everyone were to "better one's self" would solid middle class jobs magically just fall from the sky, or would some people still end up working at Walmart and McDonalds? If everyone obtained a Masters degree in a STEM field, would tens of millions of STEM field jobs magically materialize for everyone like something out of a free market fairy tale?

Why should a mom who is on welfare get a better paying job and lose so much money in welfare, food stamps, medicaid for her kids and subsidies for herself?

To be able to afford a life beyond bare subsistence living.

Lower income families stand to lose a small fortune in benefits if they try to better themselves.

Obviously, the welfare system needs to be reformed. But people advocating for something other than our previous disaster of a health care system aren't necessarily saying otherwise.

If the aca is working, why did my health insurance go up 9.1% last year?

Because the ACA is not socialized medicine. It's just a mandate that people purchase health insurance using the world's most inefficient and expensive health care system (the same system we had before).

If the aca is working, why am I paying $700+ a month to have my family covered?

You wanted a health care system with private insurance companies and privately-owned hospitals. You have what you want. Why are you complaining? That system has been shown to be the world's most expensive and inefficient health care system. Hence, it's just going to be more expensive than what people pay in other countries.

Instead of getting a better paying job, I would be better off getting a lower paying job and let subsidies make up the difference.

So, stop fantasizing about it and actually do it.

The Republicans, Tea Partiers, and Conservatives believe that our health care system was the best in the world and that it was flawless and near perfect before anyone had ever heard of Obama. They don't think there were any problems that needed reforming.

I think its kinda sick that liberals did everything possible to ensure good jobs got shipped overseas, and criminal invaders took all the menial jobs we had locally.

THEN they blame others for the jobs they didnt create while the libs were in charge of everything.

Sorry ignorant selfish lazy pieces of dung!

As opposed to the 800,000 jobs/month we were losing with Republicans in charge.
