@midtsveen I don't support it because it was just a way for taxpayer money to be funneled to big pharma, like any medical reform the US would ever implement. It ought not to be about public medical insurance but about public medical services. Was it a lesser evil? Sure. But evil nonetheless.
Edit: I want to clarify that I do think that Obamacare was a good program that saved many lives of working-class ppl, but I'd support actual public healthcare over it any day.
@Alonely0 I mean I would go on farther and say we don't even know how many lives of working class people that it cost.
I know quite a few people who lost their good insurance due to the regulations, and I personally lost my doctor over it.
This is one of those cases where the benefits might be visible but the costs are kind of hidden. Who knows how many people had worse health outcomes after it was put in place.
@volkris @midtsveen that's certainly a very interesting chain of thought… and yet a dangerous one due to its propagandistic potential. Even so, that is a perspective I lacked, and I would really like to read a study someday on the matter. For that, I thank you.
