Do you really expect us to believe that BS? You had a friend that was paying $4,500.00 a month? If he was, he had a serious precondition problem, and is very rich, because that adds up to $54,000.00 a year, which is above the averaged Americans' income of $52,000,00 a year. If that were even possibly true, it was rare and the exception for market controlled costs, while Obamacare is unaffordable for most all people but the rich, and many of those who can pay for it can't use it because the copays and deductibles are ten times and higher than they were when the market place decided the costs, so they can't afford to pay the costs of the copays and deductibles, and therefore won't use their policies and suffer their medical problems in silence.
Obamacare has forced the cost of healthcare to more than double, and in most places has increased the cost by four times and even more in some places. Most of the people who do have it are getting it from either their employer or through a federal government stipend, which is what has helped Obama to more than double the national debt.
Obamacare has proven to be a failure, and is harming ten times the people that it has helped, and is saving the rich money because they had the money to pay those high premiums for those preconditions, which the rich don't have to pay any longer under Obamacare, while the rest of us don't. Anything would be better than Obamacare has been, and it's time to give something else a chance, instead of making the American people to continue to suffer just so Obama can brag about a legacy, and a terrible legacy at that.
No matter how you liberals try to wear the American people down with the high costs of Obamacare, they still will not accept a one-payer-plan controlled by the federal government, for they have seen the problems and failures of those systems through failed foreign healthcare that is controlled by their governments, and why the rich of those countries travel to the USA for their healthcare problems, while those who are not rich die before their healthcare problem can even be addressed, by dying before they're able to wait to finally see a doctor, and then after their diagnoses they still have to wait even longer for any treatment or operations, whereas in the USA people see a doctor whenever they want and after their diagnoses get immediate treatment or needed operations, until the liberals are successful in forcing a single-payer-plan healthcare system on the American people like they did Obamacare.
The only way Obamacare was able to be passed was by not allowing anyone to read it to find out what was in it before they were forced to vote on it, and the Democrats all voted for something they were told to vote on by their political party leadership, without even knowing what they were voting for, just like the little rodents in Norway who follow each other off cliffs and into the cold oceans to all die. That is why the Republicans are having a hard time passing a healthcare plan, because they are allowing not only Republicans to read what is in their plans, which they all the Republicans seem unable to agree on for various reasons, but the Democrats too, which means nothing because the Democrats are going to vote against any Republican plan, no matter how much better it is than Obamacare, and the relief it would provide for the American people, because they want Obama to keep a legacy that has caused the Democrats to lose over 1,300 political seats all across the USA, and no matter how much suffering it continues to cause most of the American people.

they did sell cheap policies that when you tryed to use them you found you weren't covered
the leading cause of bankruptcy is medical bills
uote=Randy131]You're right kankune, and anything would be better than Obamacare, and if some people couldn't get healthcare through insurance companies, then let them pay to be put on Medicaid, for that would give them coverage as good as Obamacare, yet still wouldn't cost the federal government the tremendous amount of money that Obamacare is costing it.
The best thing would be to just repeal Obamacare and replace it with nothing, allow the free market to set prices and the insurance companies give the people incentives to buy healthcare from them, for that is what will bring the cost of healthcare down, insurance companies competing and doing what they must to get people to buy healthcare from them.
I wonder if the American people remember how cheap healthcare was before Obama and the Democrats forced Obamacare on them, especially the costs of copays and deductibles. Many Americans who have to scrimpt and count pennies to save enough money in order to afford to pay for their Obamacare policies, can't afford to use those Obamacare policies because the copays and deductibles are so high that they have no money left to pay those tremendous costs, so they go without medical services that they need to prolong their lives.
