Obamacare is, and by far, the brightest spot of US healthcare.

Actually, no, he's right. Innovation is where the US is the world leader in health services.

Maybe that's just me, but I don't really prize the quality of healthcare if it's the privilege of an elite.
Ugh, in 2008, only 14% of Americans were uninsured. While this is a number that everyone would agree is too high in and of itself as the most vulnerable Americans were unprotected, healthcare was hardly the privilege of "teh elites" before Obamacare.

A good share of these 86% only had extremely limited and low-quality coverage. Certainly not what it takes to have access to the finest American health innovation. And yes, I know Obamacare has only partially changed that.
Fair point.
