Thread Name: BS: Unpopular Views of Obama Administration
Subject: RE: BS: Unpopular Views of Obama Administration
The American public is going to really start screaming if Republicans attempt to roll back some of the better Health Reforms:

No denial of insurance for pre-existing conditions

No termination of health insurance for people who get sick

No limits on health insurance for catastrophic illness

Bargaining pools for prescription drugs

It's true that some middle class people will oppose lower income people receiving subsidized health insurance, even if it is less expensive to them than free emergency medical care. But not only is that better public policy it is cheaper in the long run.

My frustration is that the Obama Administration did not succeed in passing a public health system which totally eliminated private health insurance.
