Yes, I do think Obamacare was a Turd effort. I believe it was a totally political policy ramrodded down the American public's throat. Remember approximately two thirds of the American public were against Obamacare passage. Obamacare has never addressed the most important costs of healthcare. Tort reform was never addressed and has a huge impact on doctors costs (lawyers get rich) passed onto patients and drives superfluous tests and procedures. Free market coverage for the individual's specific needs is a must. I have some issues with HSAs however, If done correctly they should nudge the insured to be more involved with controlling their own healthcare costs by monitoring and negotiating provider charges and not simply going to the doctor for a cold and paying a copay. Hospital and provider costs for specific procedures, tests, medications should be published and readily available to the patient/insured so an informed decision can be made. The cost of services provided should not fluctuate dependent on what insurance coverage an patient has. People with preexisting conditions and people who cannot afford healthcare should be provided for and I believe this can be done at a fraction of the millions/billions spent on Obamacare. These are just a few of the issues that need to be addressed, but it would be a start.
As far a your thoughts that some doctors are so ideologically driven that they would retire or give up their medical careers to sabotage Obamacare. That seems a little bit far-fetched to me. If true, I wouldn't want them as my doctor anyway.
