Or to put it in a more rational way. He ensured that people had health insurance so that ill health wouldn't destroy them.
This is seen as joining with the rest of the western world.
It's still not ideal and what you really need is a tax to supply universal health coverage but you'd never get that past the republicans, who are just the political arm of businesses.
There is a reason that America spends more per head of population for less of a service than the rest of the world and that is because you are a country run by business for business and have been for decades, you can't expect one president to reverse that in two terms especially when everything has been opposed by the corporate shills that are the GOP.
Obama has achieved more good things in his terms than could reasonably have been expected of him.
But still some people don't like him for some unknown reason.
People need health care....they do not need health care insurance. Obama did nothing to provide people with health care. What he did was line the pockets of his fat cat friends in the health insurance industry by requiring everyone to purchase health care insurance.
Obama also supports the killing of millions of unborn human beings. That is another reason to hate him that has nothing to do with the color of his skin.
