The point of insurance is that it's a liability reducer that is meant to be purchased BEFORE something occurs. I understand it supposedly creates more jobs because more people are going to need the required insurance but just as the old doctor argument goes, whose to say that those getting subsidized health care is going to get as a good a treatment as those paying full price for it. As for bullet number 2, what happened to FREEDOM FROM? Anyways, I think that the intentions of Obamacare are pure, I just think people continue to oversee the real benefits because very few Americans are capable of doing genuine cost/benefit analysis and are generally swept up by how pleasant these bills are worded. Just be wary is all I'm saying.

What are you talking about? Uninsured patients already cost the systen A LOT of money. Plus, the US pays more into health care, as a percentage of GDP, than countries that have national healthcare.
Finally, subsidized healthcare is only different than in the fact you don't have to pay it. The quality is basically the same in some ways better. This is coming from someone who lived on Medicaid for years and private insurance too.
