  1. Sounds like at this point, even though Obamacare was structured to address access and inequality issues it could have some negative effects on economic growth. Taxes play a large role in Obamacare hindering growth. If people are taxes more, they have less dispose income to invest and consume. There is a dead weight loss to the economy as a whole when individuals are taxed more.

  2. Can someone explain Obama care in the shortest simplest way possible, I know what it is but I want to understand the gist of it.

  3. I feel that Obamacare needs to be given a true opportunity to develop and actually do what it was purposed to do. There will be negative implications and effects to individuals regardless of the policy that is instituted, and it will serve Americans better to positively invest in a plan that prioritizes equality. I believe in the policy, and I feel that regardless of the tax issue it will have more positive effects than negative.
