Do you know anything about "obamacare" in practice Jim.
I get plenty of information from my friends in America.
Apparently people who are destitute are still taken care of through the "Medicare system?", but those on low to medium wages have seen their private health insurance bills soar, so much so that many people have no medical insurance at all and are earning too much to qualify for the free service.
The legislation is universally disliked, hence the lack of protests over its abolition.
