ObamaCares

The most annoying thing to see when you turn on the television is political ads.  I can't speak for anybody else, but I hate them.  I despise them.  I don't think I can change the channel fast enough.  I don't even care what is being said.  I can't stand the fact that they seem to be on a constant loop like it's a radio station.  It doesn't make sense to me.  I can't imagine how much money is spent on those ads.  Now the hot topic in these ads is so called Obamacare.  I don't know who came up with that term, but it has always seemed offensive to me.  Anyway, the method appears to be to vote against whoever voted for the Affordable Healthcare Act.  It's too late for that.  Accept the loss and move on.  There was plenty of time to do research and get the facts about the plan.  What I can't understand is why some people are so against everyone having some form of healthcare.  From the moment I started working, I've had health insurance.  I've been healthy all my life, even when I played contact sports.  As small as I am, it's surprising that I didn't get hurt more often.  I was only twenty three when I started working.  I didn't have any health issues so I would have been fine without the insurance, in a perfect world.  As we all know, the world is not perfect.  I had health insurance and I had to make a couple trips to the hospital for the first time in my life.  Thankfully they only cost me forty bucks with my insurance.  If I didn't have insurance, I wouldn't have made any visits to the doctor.  I would have just suffered like so many others.  But I made a conscious effort not to go without insurance.  Some people choose not to do that.  It's a choice, just like this plan was a choice.  I had the option of choosing the new healthcare or what I had been using for almost eight years.  I chose to keep what I was using.  That was my choice though.  A commercial wasn't going to influence what I was going to do.
