This is my problem with the "but muh freedoms" nonsense. You don't have any fricking freedom over your health coverage as it is.
I had great freedom over my healthcare before Obama got involved.

The only way your insurance isn't tied to your employment is if you are self employed, very young, very old, or very poor.
This was a result of previous socialist policies that capped compensation during WW2. Like everything else, the government got involved and screwed it up. Companies needed another incentive to attract good employees, so work-sponsored health insurance policies became widespread. As the government go even more involved, it got even more screwed up.
The answer is less government. Until we come to that realization, it will only get worse.

Bullfrickingshit. You've never had any freedom over your healthcare. Your choices have always been paying out of pocket or doing what your insurance provider is willing to cover. Obamacare didn't restrict your fricking freedom. It funneled even more money to the insurance companies, but that's because it was originally a Republican plan, so of course it was designed to enrich large multi-billion dollar corporations at the expense of average Americans.
