You can dislike a policy and still be forced to live under it.
I have no choice but to use the American health care system, and I know how shitty it is, especially given the fact that Obama had a supermajority for a time and could have implemented universal health care. Few things will anger me as quickly as someone saying we have 'access' to health care when that supposed access is largely contingent on whether or not you can afford to be price-gouged.
Obama was not a good president.
I'd say better than the previous or later
I'm glad it's working out for you.
I can't imagine it's that great for a country where tens of millions can't absorb a sudden $400 expense without going further into debt, seeing as how it's a capitalist system that price-gouges people for their care.
Uh, of course it's not that great--but that doesn't mean it isn't better or we want to go backwards to when it was worse.
