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.

Go read the 1200+ pages of the act and see who wrote the thing. The democrats at the time held the majority and there was not a thing the republicans could do. They went behind closed doors and paid the health insurance companies basically a consulting fee to help write it. Of course they agreed to help as it helped, as you say, funnel more money in. They did not need any republican votes to get it passed.
The ACA might be one of the worst pieces of legislation ever passed in the history of this country and it was done with only one party supporting it.

You clearly never purchased insurance prior to Obamacare. Obamacare made high-deductible plans illegal. Those are the plans the vast majority of Americans need.

If recent events have taught you anything, surely you've learned that Mitt Romney isn't much of a Republican. However, even that moron has stated, numerous times, that it was never intended to be expanded nationwide.
Regardless, Democrats had to pass Obamacare through Congress by the skin of the their teeth. You will never be able to get through the fact that not a single Republican voted in favor of that abomination. We told you it was not a good bill and was a bad "solution." Every Republican amendment was voted down in Congress. Republicans made every effort to fix it. Democrats didn't listen.
As always, increased government involvement NEVER fixes anything. Government intervention in the free market will never be a solution with a good result. You should always oppose any such intrusion.
