Let's talk about Obama Care

So I don't hear a lot of talk about this really anywhere, so i thought now would be as good a time as any to see what this sub thinks. At the time it happened I was a unconscious liberal (meaning I did not know I was a liberal). I was really not sure what to think about it but because it came from Obama I supported it, because at that time i thought Obama was going to go down as one of the greatest presidents in our history. I believe my exact words were; 'we have to start somewhere'.

Fast forwarding to present and I believe it was a betrayal. I don't need to get into the state of healthcare. i will just say this, we continue to have skyrocketing costs and profits. At this point I look at it as being a nefarious way to kill the public option. I'm sure it helped some people at the time, in fact I know a couple, but it was just treating a couple symptoms and not the cause; for profit medical industry.

How do we feel here as a community? Am I off base here?
