It was created to fail if the GOP doesn't repeal they must allow it to continue. There is nothing that forces them to fix it. It's not the Republicans who created it and they better not fix it.

Fine if you think it wasn't created to fail it should be fine on it's own

This one proves how wingers simply refuse to read things that would reduce their ignorance. They seem to enjoy maximal ignorance.

As it was before Trump altered it, I don't know whether I'd call it fine ... there are much better options ... but it's certainly better than the situation if it is repealed.

You want to explain how government assistance has improved anyone's life? As long as we have had welfare and Medicaid there should not be any poor people needing help.

How many people wear clothes made of burlap sacks in the U.S. today? How many did before the New Deal?

So you think that's improving their life? Improving their life would be to create a means that would lift them out of having a need for government assistance.

No way to do that under capitalism, which systematically reproduces poverty to compel workers to give away their surplus value in exchange for a job.
Bugsy McGurk
President
This one doesn't even understand how having health insurance improves someone's life. The IQ of a candied yam.

Ignorance is making a claim that you have yet to support
You said obama care was being sabotaged how is it being done?
If it is your claim to sabotage is because the GOP is going to let it fail how can it fail since you think there is nothing wrong with it?

Socialism is government handout how does that improve anyone's lives?

Socialism is not "government handout" ... it is labor taking back the wealth it created, and the land that is rightly common property, by any means necessary.

- With Congress unlikely to agree on any meaningful changes to Obamacare, here is a look back at the many health care changes that have been triggered by the 2010 law. Here are 10 that Americans should be happy are in place:
1. Goodbye doughnut hole. Medicare drug plans (Part D of Medicare) stop providing insurance to people after their claims for covered drugs hit a certain level ($2,970 in 2013), and coverage doesn't resume until spending hits another level ($4,750 in 2013). Health care reform is closing this doughnut hole in annual stages, and it will be totally closed by 2020. Savings to Medicare beneficiaries will be in the tens of billions of dollars.
2. Free Medicare preventive services. Health care reform greatly expanded the menu of free preventive services to Medicare consumers.
3. Free preventive services to all women. Health insurance plans have added eight women's health benefits because of the law, in areas including breastfeeding, contraception, domestic violence, gestational diabetes, HIV screening and counseling, sexual diseases and wellness visits. These benefits are free, meaning they involve no co-payment or co-insurance, and women don't need to meet their plan deductibles to use these free services.
4. Pre-existing conditions. Beginning in 2014, no one can be denied health insurance because of a pre-existing medical condition.
5. Premium equity. Insurers can't gouge people with pre-existing conditions by forcing them to pay unreasonably high premiums. The law also limits insurers' ability to impose age-related premium increases for private coverage.
6. End of pre-existing restrictions on children's access to health insurance. The law has ended insurance denials based on pre-existing conditions for the roughly 20 million children under age 19.
7. Adult dependent insurance coverage. Adult children up to age 26 can now continue to get health insurance on their parent's policies.
8. Insurance payout limits. The law will end lifetime limits on insurance payouts. It also has been phasing out annual coverage limits, and these will be completely outlawed for insurance plans taking effect next year.
9. The minimum medical loss ratio for insurers. Health insurers must spend at least 85 percent of their premium dollars on health care (80 percent for smaller group plans) or rebate shortfalls to consumers.
10. New consumer health coverage reports. Consumers have begun receiving a standardized report explaining their health insurance. This seemingly modest accomplishment is actually a big deal. For the first time, different health insurance plans have to present their coverage details in the same format, using the same language. Consumers can now accurately compare different health insurance plans.
