The real problem with 'Obamacare' (aka ACA) -- It's still not a 'single payer' vital 'public service' for all who need it.
"The U.S. stands almost entirely alone among developed nations that lack universal health care."

When will America wake up, and get with the Human-Beings-Matter program?
Here's where I found that Universal Map of care; the author of this Atlantic article has some interesting observations about what the map's stark bifurcations mean:
Here's a Map of the Countries That Provide Universal Health Care (America's Still Not on It)

The above map shows, in green, countries that administer some sort of universal health care plan. Most are through compulsory but government-subsidized public insurance plans, such as the UK's National Health Service. Some countries that have socialized and ostensibly universal health care systems but do not actually apply them universally, for example in poverty- and corruption-rife states in Africa or Latin America, are not counted.
What's astonishing is how cleanly the green and grey separate the developed nations from the developing, almost categorically. [...]
That brings us to another way that America is a big outlier on health care. The grey countries on this map tend to spend significantly less per capita on health care than do the green countries -- except for the U.S., where the government spends way more on health care per person than do most countries with free, universal health care.

SO, in other words ...
The real problem with 'Obamacare' (aka ACA) -- is that Insurance Corporations are still the Value-subtracting middle-men, in this brave new, consumer-protecting system.
That's all. What do they (Insurers) bring to the wellness-equation again -- besides confusion, obfuscation, and pain.
Is it any wonder they are cancelling policies, when the ACA Law now requires them to actually Help people, instead of Scam people ... Where's the Profit in that!?
