I just don’t get why so many people want to abolish the Affordable Healthcare Act – Obamacare – according to exit polls just reported on CNN. I’ve tried, but I just don’t understand it. I think the reform of healthcare – especially getting rid of problems like the preexisting conditions opt-out for insurances – is one of the best and most important, literally lifesaving pieces of legislature introduced in the last, I don’t know, 40 years. And I think that it is a issue that should be approved on a bi-partisan level; it’s good for everybody and make perfect (economic, moral, social..) sense. It’s not socialism, the basic structure is still market-driven.
The possible repeal one of the aspects that make this election so personal for me, even though I’m not American. I do plan to live/work in the States again at some point in the near future, and my mental health issues might be a preexisting condition and something I need (expensive) care for, even when I’m feeling good/have it under control.
Thoughts?
