the healthcare reform was a result of complicated partisan maneuvering to get over the finish line. many of those bandaids people complain about are a direct result of strong republican opposition. so much so that the final bill that passed was nowhere near what obama or anyone wanted. Blaming Obama and not the opposition in congress for any of this mess is really shortsighted.

if you really want to know the gory details of this process and healthcare in america read the excellent book by Steve brill:America's Bitter Pill.

and one more thing, you had insurance now but what happens in you lose your job or god forbid take a break for a few month to care for somebody.
