the things that people are most dissatisfied with about obamacare or about the fordable care act are things that essentially in other countries are solved by more government control, not less. and so republicans are pointing at these things to stir up dissatisfaction, but when it comes to, all right what's the solution for it, their answer is less government regulation and letting folks charge even more and doing whatever they want and letting the marketplace work its will. i think that there are strengths to our system because we have a more market-based system. our health care system is more innovative. prescription drugs is probably the best example of this. it is true that we essentially come up with the new drugs in this country because our drug companies are fat and wealthy enough that they can invest in the research and development. they make bigger profits which ey can plow back into drug development. and we have other countries that are free riders on that system. so they can negotiate with the drug companies and force much lower prices, but they generally don't have a drug
