Sure you can choose not to go see a doctor, you can choose not to visit a hospital, but if you get scraped up off the road and taken to the emergency room you have no choice, they have to treat you and someone has to pay.
ACA is a mess, but it is an improvement in the mess that preceeded it.
Contrary to the Clarksonesque "greatest in the world" claim Webster made it only tops the list on expense, and while large number of people do travel to the US for treatment it is dwarfed by the numbers of Americans travelling to other countries for treatment(often to third world countries).

Really, our healthcare system prior to ACA was fine. People complained because a minority was not covered but the quality was top notch.Some things needed to be fixed such as skyrocketing premium costs, dropping for conditions etc but overall, top notch.That is why so many from other countries come here or used to. Now, we will end up with substandard care.where will everyone go for top notch care? Sad as it is, I cant wait for the rationing stories to come out and the outrage from the idiots in the public.A 85 year old under an obamaplan denied a procedure, these headlines are coming.Palin did a disservice calling them death panels, it sounded hyperbolic but from what I understand there will be or is an advisory board. Sad as it is, it is coming.
