I just posted this Obamacare rant on FB...should be some fun responses...

Hopefully it will go over better than my "Southern Morons" post.

Would one of you Obamacare haters please explain to me what it means to "put someone on Obamacare?" I keep hearing Tea Baggers and others saying that Obama and members of Congress should have to be "on Obamacare." WTF does that mean? It's just access to affordable insurance for those who don't otherwise have access! If you already have health insurance, this has absolutely NO IMPACT on you -- except for that you have even more options. No one is being forced to "buy Obamacare." But those people previously locked out of the insurance market because of pre-existing conditions or benefit caps will now be able to sleep at night knowing they won't go bankrupt if they get sick. How does that affect you? How does that make your life miserable knowing that a sick person can get health care? No one -- NO ONE -- is forcing you to change doctors, change insurance companies, change your underwear, whatever...but millions of other people have new options. Why does that upset you so?
