Why do democrats support the Obamacare? Why do republicans oppose it?
Generally, Democrats support the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare) because they think that the benefits of the Act outweigh the costs. Democrats generally believe that ObamaCare will result in universal health insurance coverage. They also believe that mandating such coverage from the federal level will solve the problems of healthcare access and affordability. Generally, Republicans oppose the law because they believe that it will not do what it is intended to do (improve healthcare in the United States) and will actually exacerbate problems with cost and access. Further, Republicans argue that the mere existence of the Act undermines notions of federalism and the proper role of government. They believe that it is a federal encroachment on what is typically a state issue or even, more narrowly, a personal decision.

awright bud,heres why,siemens a MRI machines come from ye ole deutchland,wherein siemens pays workers/techs 22$/hr to 46$/hr,the devices end up with a us purchase price of 1 mil five hundred thousand buckaroos,of course not including shipping and handling,you figure out the euro/dollar exchange rate,these devices may be patented,meaning we have to buy the patent, and manufacture the machines here,,for less end use cost,e/r costs involve,,,substantial malpractice insurance costs,nyc municipal employees salaries,,,,,you might have recieved inadequate medical care,only recourse was to sue them,,,OR,write the horsepistol administrator a letter requesting waivery of the fee billed to you,writing the cost off to charity. as you say about care in less wealthy countries,,,,,,indian hospitals do give great quality care and attention to individual patients,,,those drs come here to get trained,and often go back to india and practice there.
Was "ObamaCare" originally a Republican idea?
No, it wasn't even a RINO idea. 100% of all republicans in both the house and Senate voted against it. 0-care got zero republican votes. It was constructed with no republican input. Republicans weren't allowed on the committee. Republicans weren't allowed to add or subtract a single word of the document. This is because democrats didn't want leaks as to what was actually in the document. By no means is 0-care an original deal with the republicans. The problem as seen by democrats was the existence of the remaining vestiges of capitalism in the medical insurance field. Democrats had to destroy the medical insurance industry before they could institute socialized medicine Democrats have wanted socialized medicine since FDR. 0-care was designed to fail so democrats could ride to the rescue with a worse plan i.e. Socialized Medicine. True Republicans believe… •That the free enterprise system is the most productive supplier of human needs and economic justice, •That all individuals are entitled to equal rights, justice, and opportunities and should assume their responsibilities as citizens in a free society, •That fiscal responsibility and budgetary restraints must be exercised at all levels of government, •That the Federal Government must preserve individual liberty by observing Constitutional limitations, •That peace is best preserved through a strong national defense, •That faith in God, as recognized by our Founding Fathers is essential to the moral fiber of the Nation. There is nothing radical about this platform. Just 20 years ago people would have yawned and asked what he was going to do to get these things done. It is middle of the road conservatism.
