Obamacare

I am a 74 year old physician. I worked 15 years in solo fee for service practice and then the past 28 years in an HMO. "Obamacare" (Affordable Health Care) is simply filling in the gaps which now exist in the delivery of health care, i.e. making it possible for people with pre-existing conditions to get health insurance and making health insurance affordable for all Americans. It works through private insurance companies in most cases. It will bring down health care costs in the USA.
Romney says he wants to stop Obamacare, but now before the election he all of a sudden denies opposing filling in the gaps like the pre-exisitng condition question. But that is Obamacare! So, Mr. Romney what side are you on?
Obamacare will eventually happen because it is an inevitable step in the progression of health care in America going back long before President Obama or Governor Romney were born. At its best we have the best health care in the world. The problem is that the best is not yet available to everyone in the USA. Obamacare will fix that.
