Help in responding to ACA critic on facebook [View all]
I've been through most of the obvious reasons why we will all benefit by "Obamacare" with this guys. Here is his last post. My brain is fried! I need some some help in formulating an appropriate response. Many thanks in advance!

"The affordable health care act (Obamacare) is a tax. Period. Most who have health insurance have seen it increase at a greater rate than normal and the same goes with Group. Obamacare is not going to force anyone to buy health Insurance,but it will tax everyone who does not. It will be much cheaper to pay the tax than to purchase a healthcare plan. So, we (tax payers) will still be left footing the bill for those who seek treatment for emergencies or serious illness and are not insured. The poor will be given a subsidy to buy health insurance through state insurance pools. However, states such as Louisiana and many other are not going to set them up. (Unless forced by the supreme court) for the small few you can name it helps, it punishes most everyone else. You are also going to see the largest retirement of physicians across the board. It has already begun. Longer waits and more regulations. Former Speaker of the house Pelosi's asinine push to her Democratic colleges to pass the bill then you Can read it should be criminal. Sheer stupidity. It was just what will end up as a big tax on the middle class and business with over 50 employees. I say this as an insurance agent in several states that will make a ton more commission on Obamacare if more people purchase health insurance. However, that does not mean I agree with a huge tax on the American Middle Class for not doing such. Smoke & Mirrors always hides truth."
