What is ObamaCare and why is it so good/bad?

Speaking as someone from the UK, I have no idea what ObamaCare is. Why did Obama create it and why does Trump want to get rid of it?

it was a poorly designed healthcare system that would eventually fail and force all US citizens into a single payer system like the UK's NHS

we're about half way there if they don't repeal it soon

Like this....it is a plan with flaws. It is not collapsing and despite the false consensus that it is horrible..it axtually has helped many...as with the GOP plan the full benefits would be seen within a number of years rather than immediate(according to the GOP ANYWAY) that is okay... you just keep on pushing that false rhetoric and go on believing it because nobody's going change your mind... the only thing that will is when you are smacked in the face with reality unfortunately that may never happen,sad for you.

@JaggedLittlePill: it was sold on a pack of lies
and the congress passed it without reading it
people are already bitching about the high premiums
just wait, left the way it is now nobody is going to want it in about 2 years
by design

@Niburu: congress passed it without reading it? Are you serious? I am not sure if I should laugh at that statement or bang my forehead on the wall a bit...

The republicans did everything in their power to put every road block up that they could in order to stop Obama from doing all of the things that were in his plan.

The fact that rates were not as low as they cpupd havebeen is entirely the fault of republicans who allowed states to decide if they eouldparticipate in medicaid expansion or not...among other things.

The fact that there was a penalty for not getting insurance was part of insuring the rates were low.....yet people who could not grasp such things chose instead to complain and whine about things that were in place to help them.

As I suspected, you receive your information from biased and false sources.

@JaggedLittlePill: this must be a real pushbutton issue for you
you've got all your arguments all neatly lined up to go

I remember Nancy Pelosi famous "we need to pass it to se what in it" bit
I await your canned response.

I receive my information from more than one viewpoint -I flip back and forth from NPR to AM talk radio, I read various newspapers, I don't watch tv news programs - period.
