Yes, but it should be reformed to include a public option, getting rid of anti-competition laws for insurers, dismantling state lines as boundaries for insurance companies, and repeal the Medical Device tax.

I think sadly, the combination of no public option + individual mandate made it a doomed law from the beginning.

Strong 'yes'. I know it's not perfect, but it is way better than the status quo before, and better than what our health care system would be like if/when it is repealed.

I would have benefited directly from the provision of being able to stay on parents' insurance until age 26, when I was under 26. If Obamacare existed then, I would have received an organ transplant a year earlier rather than have to attain 'work quarters' for insurance to cover it.

I am guessing the only replacement is just making it like it was and  that you not pay taxes on money you save for medical treatments and also that WalMart can sell you discount plans as insurance.

Yes. It's a bad law, but it destroyed the Democratic Party and it's not unfixable.

If it does get repealed, does Fee For Service become the Social Security and Roe vs. Wade (the two biggest things on the left) for Republicans? It seems that Fee For Service and the War on Drugs are the right's two biggest sacred cows that no one can touch and are considered an integral part of the American social contract had down by Moses himself.

I actually told my ex-MiL this ten years ago. She didn't believe me.
