Has everyone forgotten Hillarycare and what it involved. I would remind you that Hillarycare planned to assign local doctors to everyone and punish those who sought healthcare out of their area.
Not much difference, except that I don’t think that Obamacare goes as far as proposing punishment for seeking care outside the area.

Almost. Without any insurance coverage it may be near impossible to get any medical care outside the area, particularly if the type of care you are seeking is going to be very expensive for the hospital or doctor. You can probably negotiate to pay cash for a one-time visit with a specialist, but it is unlikely a hospital will want to admit you, or one of your kids, if they see that it is likely your case will cost more money than you can possibly afford to pay.
When it comes to seeing specialists or going to research level hospitals for serious problems, most people except those in a few big cities will be uninsured under Obamacare, even if they have a gold level policy.
