Healthcare is tied to your job. Get laid off, lose your healthcare. Now many people are losing their jobs, which means many are also losing their healthcare.
Whoever thought this was a good setup is an asshat. Like frfr I think our laws are made by clowns and court jesters.

There is a public option in all states. The problem is qualifying for it.
Romneycare And Obamacare

David Frum reviews Romney’s new book. On health care:
[Romney] adamantly opposes [the public option]. Yet in many other respects, there is common ground. Like Obama, Romney worries about the malign incentives of fee-for-service medicine. Like Obama, Romney regards the status quo as unsustainable. Like Obama, Romney is a big fan of the healthcare journalism of Atul Gawande.
And of course, the public option has now vanished from the Obama plan. Which means that the federal plan bears a closer family resemblance than ever to Romney’s idea: regulated health insurance exchanges, mandates to buy insurance for those who can afford it, subsidies for those who cannot. Romney’s preference would be to omit the mandate for those who “can demonstrate their ability to pay their own health-care bills.” (176) That would be precious few of us. And he wants to allow states ample leeway to innovate without hindrance by the federal government.
In my opinion, he (Obama), knew that, from the start, the public option was never more than empty promises… The rest was just theatre for the masses…
