Thread:Comments:Pressure mounts on US Senate candidate Todd Akin to withdraw after controversial rape comments/Obama/reply

As I understand it, the main idea behind the Obamacare was to give people the ability to make a decision regarding their healthcare options. At the moment, you cannot because you cannot afford it. In most cases, you cannot even get a doctor to tell you how much it will cost you to see a doctor. You can get billed later, but for most basic care, you have no idea what the costs will be upfront even if you wanted to pay cash. In any case, the Obama appears to wanted to make healthcare more affordable so you can chose because nothing, bankruptcy and death are not real options.
