I'm torn on this one. I have been against obamacare but by hook or by crook it was put into law and people have been planning their finances around that law. Now that certain Republicans are threatening to defund it everything is once again in turmoil. How can you plan for anything when this is on again off again. I for instance was going to see a dramatic decrease in my health care cost because I am semi retired and have a very low income. We went out and bought a new car thinking we could afford the payments with the money we would save on health insurance premiums but if obamacare is defunded we will now have those car payments plus our original health insurance cost. I even started a thread when we bought the car asking if obamacare might stimulate the economy by freeing up money to buy things like we did but some people made a good point when they said some will lose money and won't buy things so it's at best a wash. I'm sure other individuals and businesses have made similar financial decisions based on this new system and I have to think pulling the rug out at this late time will do more harm than good for our economy. It makes me want to grab these politicians by the collar and say, "Will you guys pick a f***** plan and stay with it please!"
