The lack of portability and competition has long been a problem in America's insurance market, yet Obamacare took no significant steps to open up the market between state lines.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Obamacare was very attractive, particularly to those without health insurance.
We need the ability to buy healthcare insurance across state lines that would increase competition and drive down cost.
The American people don't want Obamacare. It has been forced on the American people, despite the fact that Democrats no longer control the House.
I have been outspoken on my opposition to 'Obamacare,' and I don't buy the line that our Medicaid program, or any function of government, has reached maximum efficiency.
We do not have a functioning market in the true sense of the word in health care. That's a layer of transparency that's sorely needed in America.
The real problem with Obamacare has little to do with the number of people signing up, and a lot to do with the restrictions on insurance companies and reimbursement rates to doctors.
Obamacare is the wildly complex Rube Goldberg contraption it is because getting the legislation through Congress required so many political tradeoffs and so many unavoidable deals with so many vested interests. But that's no excuse.
Obamacare is simply incapable of doing what it is supposed to do - provide nearly universal care at an affordable and sustainable cost.
The single best thing we can do is expand competition. Let people purchase health insurance across state lines. If you want to expand access, what you want to do is increase choices and drive down cost.
Under Obamacare, it virtually is impossible to find out the price of anything. That's not the way to make health care affordable.
