Wtf are you talking about? The problem already existed that uninsured folks would use healthcare and incur huge costs that they couldn't pay. Those costs were rolled into higher prices for everyone, therefore you were already paying for them.explain the mandate? that's all one needs to understand it was about welfare and wealth distribution. LOL.Maybe according to the fake news right.Obamacare is all about control and nothing to do with healthcareHow is it evil inspired?Republicans force tax cuts through the Senate | Daily Mail Online
Most can not afford it, dont want anything to do with it and will never benefit from it.

One goal of covering everyone was that the huge cost of last minute life saving emergency room visits for uninsured folks would be prevented and the cost of the prevention would be partially paid for by the individual,,,rather than the huge emergency cost being rolled into higher prices for everyone. The goal and result was clearly not control for the sake of it.
The gop has no solution for this problem, which is why they havent come up with a workable plan that addresses it. Some of them would say the person should die if they chose to forgo coverage and got caught.
There are probably only a few ways to get close to full coverage, which I believe is a necessity in the greatest country. One is a mandate, another is universal single payer. Both of these are a push motivation. Choice of being covered or not, is not allowed, because the probabilistic cost of health care should be assigned to those consuming it as much as possible.
A 3rd way would be a natural pull. If the product is cheap enough, and benefits clear enough, most people would opt to purchase it. However, this doesn't happen because the lowest paying jobs don't offer livable wages and also the benefits of price competition don't exist at the low end consumer level in many markets in our economy including this one. Large companies would sooner offer more expensive or similarly priced options when savings from economies of scale are achieved, not actually pass that savings to the consumer via a low cost option. Some folks who are on the fringe also just don't understand the importance of being covered due to poor education.
A 4th way is to require or convincingly incentivize employers to offer health care coverage to all employees. This might be the best option for a lot of reasons, but it would need to extend down to those living off low wages.
Why must the greatest country Have near full health care coverage? Because being born here should put people head and shoulders above the rest of the world. People should be focusing on making money, taking advantage of opportunities, providing for their family rather than whether or not they can afford to go to the doctor and solve a worsening health problem out of pocket. These financial crises severely maim people's lives, particularly at the bottom.
Now illegals do that.
