Why the ACA (Romney/Obama Care) MAKES SENSE

Why the ACA (Romney/Obama Care) MAKES SENSE !!!

Regardless of what SCOTUS decides Thursday about the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) somebody is going to be upset. The most recent ABC News Poll shows that while only 36 percent of Americans express a favorable opinion of ACA yet the same sample group's opinion is almost equally unfavorable at about 39 percent. Most of those polling against claim their biggest single objection is the "individual mandate". This may be due to misinformation or legitimate values but either way, the numbers show that the American public overwhelmingly feel our healthcare system as is needs a major overhaul.

In my opinion ACA gets Americans much closer to universal healthcare. Most would be covered so basically those in this country that are undocumented would be excluded by definition. As for smaller sized companies who will be forced to provide health care are will continue to receive tax credit subsidies for affordable coverage. IF YOU HAVE IT NOW THRU YOUR EMPLOYER, YOU WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE IT....

ACA is a VERY VERY overdue reform which is going to greatly help the American public, even as most people are misunderstand its key provisions, many of which have not even gone into effect.

The fact is that access to healthcare is a fundamental human right. It is thus the moral imperative of any country to insure that its people will be taken care of. ACA may not be perfect but it is the best of all possible paths to universal healthcare coverage in the currently highly partisan climate of Washington.
