What is wrong with Obamacare? It now seems the prices for insurance are taking a dive, last count 16% lower. No wonder republicans are crying the death of the human race, since they are OWNED by the insurance companies who don't want to have their trillion dollar diamond platinum parachutes messed with. So why are people so against Obamacare? Could it be because of just negative media driven by the republican party? Don't forget, Obamacare was first proposed by the republican party but now that it is a democrat issue, they hate it. Just a TINY bit hypocritical.

(including some members of congress in both parties). Also, why have some union leaders voiced opposition.
I'm ignorant of what it contains. Would you have a helpful site link with an understandable summary?

What does it mean?
Aside from governing, which is the only thing it's supposed to do, government doesn't do anything better than private industry. In fact they usually end up doing a much poorer job. And why is that? Because government doesn't need to do it better, they aren't competing with anyone else for our business. We are already seeing the effects of Obama care before it's been fully implemented because businesses are getting ready for it. Even Obama knows what will happen, that's why he wants to postpone full implementation of his wonderful health care plan until after the 2014 elections.
