About 50% of businesses with over 50 employees provide some form of insurance. If you have less than 50, doesn't effect you, which is a majority of small business...so Obamacare isn't coverage for all.

Insurance corps will do everything to repeal government healthcare laws.
One of the most profitable corps ever. They didn't do so based on competition, but because they're a political monopoly.

Let's also be honest..if the Dems didn't bring up healthcare, the GOP wouldn't even be talking about anything, they would continue as is and all facts show as it will lead to a total breakdown in less than 20 years where only the elite class would have coverage.

Lack of medical insurance by all studies is much more expensive. Man gets sick, ignores illness , no insurance...get's chronically ill, spends all assets now trying to get care, goe's bankrupt and homeless...creditors eat that. Finally, on his last leg he runs to the emergency room condition life threatening. Cost go into 100's of thousands. He can no longer work, so now goes on an already overloaded medicare system and applies for SS, foodstamps,S8 housing, ect......This happens to thousands every year. Had he had early testing, could've been treated.

An average of 2 million people a year are now losing health coverage...yea, let's keep ignoring it.

Good point and I am pretty sure everyone agrees the system needs to be changed in order to allow more access and reduce costs.However, Obamacare is blatantly unconstitutional due to the individual mandate and thus must be repealed and replaced as the GOP vowed to.Really should disturb everyone that Obama and the authors of this bill seek the power for the government to force citizens to purchase health insurance.They seek the power to penalize citizens for not doing so.Give them an inch, they will take a mile.
