In hindsight and four days later, I think my only opinion that has changed is that I now oppose the individual insurance mandate, which I used to support as the only way to fix the pre-existing condition problem. I could not understand why so many were opposed to the government forcing people to buy insurance or why that was such a big deal. But now I get it. Now I see the US government is not capable of carrying this out in such a way that it will effectively just help people with expensive diseases to maintain coverage. But pregnancy is not a disease. I could understand if the administration was making a push to provide birth control for the poor. I'm growing tired about hearing that the government needs to provide more and more stuff to people who can afford to buy it themselves. (Or heaven forbid pay a rider or co-pay.) Plus the government is requiring everyone to buy insurance to cover something I am morally opposed to. The government does not seem able to keep to the supposed point of this: helping sick people get coverage.
It's not the "government"; it's the Obama administration doing these things.
