Obamacare won't be that bad at first.
In a generation or two citizens will say, “If we could return to the old Obamacare system....”.
Obamacare, like government K-12 schooling, is compulsory-funded and will be compulsory-use because the private market in health care ( just like private schooling) will be driven to near extinction. Private health care will find it hard to compete against a government monopoly and price-fixed cartel that is giving away health care for no fee, just as government schools give their service away for tuition-free.
Do you see, now. Government schooling can't be fixed because it is a compulsory-funded, compulsory-use, single-payer, socialist-entitlement, and price-fixed monopoly cartel. It **always** has been!
I suppose you are right overall, government controlled schooling is wrong but the system as it existed prior to the sixties was so much better than it is now as to be in a different category altogether from the current excuse for a school system. Obamacare will never have one percent of the credibility or the beneficial results that the old public school system had.
