How should we feel about Obamacare?
Posted Friday, November 8, 2013 11:43 AM

I thought I'd start a topic of discussion that is certainly on our minds now, since it is in the news on a daily basis.  I guess I'm one of the 95% whose healthcare is not going to change in coverage.  But it might suffer a slight premium increase starting in January 2014.  I guess I'll have to stay tuned about that. 

But I do worry some about my children.  They either have not had coverage recently, or it's being paid for by the general taxpayers.  What will happen to them?  Of course, I'm concerned.  My general feeling has always been that we need a healthy nation.  We also need people to be working; and if they're not healthy work can be difficult to manage.  So I'm for general coverage for everyone.  I want them healthy, and either going to school or college, or fully engaged in working...for their entire work life.  Is that pie-in-the-sky?  Is that now impossible?  I don't know.  But at this point I'm thinking that ObamaCare, or the Affordable Care Act, or whatever you wish to call it, ought to succeed.  What do you think?
