I'm going to try something new and delve into politics for just a sec. As you all know, the House Republicans in congress have introduced a new bill that will replace Obamacare. Many on the left are furious, some on the right feel conflicted about the new bill, but here are my thoughts.
1. Obamacare was a complete disaster to put it kindly, premiums went through the roof, people that did not want insurance were forced into it, and insurers left states in droves. 2. Obamacare was the single biggest infringement on peoples rights since FDR confiscated everyone's gold in 1933, It as said previously forced people to buy insurance or pay a fine, regardless of whether people wanted it or not, the government also pressured businesses to stop putting trans fats in their cooking grease so insurers would lower their prices ( much like the government forces you to wear a seatbelt for the same reason)
The new replacement gets rid of the individual mandate, and to be honest, that's good enough for me. The individual mandate was really the only thing I had against Obamacare, and now that it's finally gone, I'm completely satisfied.
