If you’d like the government to change something about Obamacare, give the White House a ring. They’re in a flexible mood.
President Obama
this week approved yet another delay to provisions in the Affordable
Care Act, giving insurers until 2016 to sell a type of insurance policy
that’s supposed to be banned under the health-reform law. The ban, which
was supposed to begin this year, would prevent insurers from selling
bare-bones plans that might be affordable but don’t abide by 10
“essential service rules” required under the new law.
When insurers began canceling such coverage last year, however, several million Americans were forced off plans they had chosen,
with most alternatives being more expensive. That undermined Obama’s
frequent claim that “if you like your health insurance, you can keep
it,” and turned into one of the most controversial elements of a law
that hardly lacks detractors.

Sometimes when I am bored, I read about Obamacare, frankly speaking it's hard to imagine the project which could have been a bigger failure. I know quite a lot of families not going to be insured at all at least in the nearest time, they just hope to avoid health problems or apply for unsecured personal loan 24/7 in case of emergency, but looks like it will still save their money.
