That's the bill that fined poor people who couldn't get insurance?
The same bill that blocked insurers from going across state lines and creating real competition?
Sounds great for the stockholders of private insurance companies.

Blocking competition across state lines means fewer options and less competition driving down prices.
Forcing young people with less money to pay for insurance when it's a bad deal, and fining those who don't is just a way of redistributing money from poor to rich. It's the insurance companies and boomers who benefited the most. Insurance companies were able to force people to buy a product whether it made financial sense or not, and boomers had their healthcare subsidized by the same young people they fucked over in housing and education.

Again, I can't afford healthcare. I would die. With socialist Obamacare, I get free healthcare and free medication. Why would I not love that?

Obamacare is not universal healthcare.
Medical costs are still too high under Obamacare, in large part because the plan insulates insurance companies from competition by disallowing competition across state lines. Any other business can offer services across state lines, just not medical insurance since Obamacare.

People die under all medical system.
Allowing those insurers to compete and drive prices down won't kill you.
When the too-poor-to-afford-insurance obamacare fee was struck down by the courts we didn't see masses of people die.
"At least I'm not dying" could defend any number of bad ideas.
