Screw them all. Go concierge healthcare if you can afford it and stay in the country:

You will always have your way of thinking, as for me, I already know that millions of people have been helped already with their health issues, and thats all I ever cared about.

The Afforadable Health Care Act has already been implemented in so many ways, the rest will just be more add ons. But just like Social Security in FDR, or Medicare under LBJ, the Afforadable Health Care Act will be OBama's legacy in the decades to come.

You might think it can be overturned easily, just have an election that totally favors Romney and the Republicans, we will just have to wait till November for that decision.

Does that mean when the election is over, and things don't quite go your way, will you then start to see that this latest decision by the Supreme Court will be around alot longer than a few years.

<<< it may become necessary for us Americans to seek high qualiy healthcare abroad and/or off-shore. >>>

And where you can find high quality healthcare at an affordable price abroad will most likely be in one of those so called "socialistic" healthcare systems which you hate so much.
Ever wonder why our healthcare system ranks so low among modern industrialized countries, but at the same time costs more than anywhere else? It is because it's main purpose is not looking after the public's welfare. It has been designed to maximize profits for the healthcare industry (primarily the Pharmaceutical companies) while maintaining the illusion that it will provide good affordable healthcare for all. I live abroad now, and I use the healthcare system (what you might mistakenly call an "evil socialistic" one), and it is far more affordable and at least as good as what I've had in the US. At the same time, it is not as huge a drain on government finances as the healthcare system in the US is. There is also more emphasis on prevention, which saves health dollars. Prescription drugs cost much less.
I don't know if getting rid of Obamacare would be a step in the right direction or not, it all depends on what replaces it. What we had before was not working and pretty much everyone agrees changes must be made, but Obamacare is also flawed in many ways .... although perhaps it's a start in the right direction. I am not optimistic that we will get very far in the right direction though ... not as long as the Pharmaceutical companies, insurance companies etc. are the ones controlling what can and can't get through Congress.
It is just another example of what is bringing down our country ..... everything is done for the benefit of the special interests (who can buy off the Congress), with the welfare of the people taking on secondary (if that) importance. The government can't be everything for everybody, but it should at least be fair in how it goes about it. This problem with the system needs to be fixed first and foremost before tackling all the other big problems, or we wind up with a lot expensive programs which don't serve the people well (unless you think of Corporations as people, as the Supreme Court does).
