The UK’s NHS is, in some ways, actually BETTER than Obamacare because it allows this choice of going to a private insurer (even though those who choose this option STILL are forced to pay NHS taxes). Obamacare FORCES people to change their existing insurance to plans they don’t want. Obamacare’s goal is to have NO OPTION outside of Obamacare. Then when Obamacare ultimately drives insurance companies into bankruptcy by forcing them to pay for preexisting conditions, the Gov’t can step in and take over the insurance carrier “to protect the Public Health”. So, in many ways Obamacare is actally FAR worse than what’s available in the UK but the NHS gives us a small window into “some” of what we have in our future.....the difference is that Obamacare will be a LOT worse.

I agree...Obamacare is worse. Without the option of private insurance, only the very wealthy will be able to make cash arrangements.

Those exempted from Obamacare will have no worries, of course.

I agree that the private insurance option in England is better than Obamacare. I don't know how much private insurance costs in England but I'm sure it must be costly. I'll try to find out how costly by asking son in England.

Obamacare has no real option as all those Obamacare policies are garbage. People can't afford a $5,000 and up deductible for an illness and the premiums for any policy is too high for most people. I'm not speaking of Medicaid as that is a disaster and people won't get to see a doctor because doctors are dropping that like a hot potato. There will be so few doctors taking that one that the lines to see a doctor will be around the block.
