"the system in effect before Obama worked well.""I actually do not believe this"
Call me a cynic, but IMO all Obamacare did was replace a costly and dysfunctional health care system with one that is costlier and even more dysfunctional.
According to the CIA World Factbook, the US ranks 51st in life expectancy at birth, but we spend almost twice as much for our health care as any other developed country.
Can Republicans even begin to address this? It took 70 years to create it, I am skeptical that it can be fixed during my lifetime. That's no matter what the SC decides here.

One of the things those statistics say is the USA has a much higher infant mortality rate, but that's because other countries don't even count preemies in their rate because they don't even try to save them.
The USA tries to save preemies, and a lot of them die anyway. Eliminate those preemies from the statistics and we have a lower infant mortality rate.
