Why's it so difficult for some to accept Obama was a good president

Excuse me I have insurance and I think people should have insurance. What I am saying is that the government shouldn't enforce it. It's not the government's job to police what we do to our own bodies.

In 2014, only 1.5% of the adult population had to pay that mandate. I'm sure that number decreased since.

The mandate was necessary in order to get health insurance companies to stop charging more for pre-existing conditions. I don't like the ACA knowing full well it's possible to implement a single-payer system. But this was the only system that could have passed through the Republican congress. It's sad. But over 20 million people are better off for it, myself included. I will continue to defend the ACA, despite its faults.
