Question 1

why did obama go gray so fast?

Accepted Answer

Hard job: To the extent that grey hair start is due to stress and the difficulty of a job, obama has the toughest job on the planet.  This may have contributed to his seemingly premature or rapid onset greyness.

Question 2

is obama care good health insurance?

Accepted Answer

Apples/Oranges: Obama care (affordable care act) is a legislative initiative to make private insurance available to more people. If you go to healthcare.Gov you will find several specific plans to choose between, some of which may be appropriate for you depending on needs and cost. You could think of it as obama care giving you more insurance options but whether or not they are 'good' depends on your situation.

Question 3

why is obama's healthcare system broken?

Accepted Answer

It's not Obama's: America is the most short-sighted country on the globe. Our presidents have actively tried to change the system going back to truman.  I led town hall meetings/discussion panels before last election. Obama had the right ideas to make real change, but one by one the teeth were removed, 1st by insurance lobby, then by pharmaceutical lobby, using senators lieberman & snow, and others. Sick society.

Question 4

do you think obama will give us good health care ?

Accepted Answer

President Obama: President obama will not be providing this health care himself, but he knows how to engage and inspire those who do the many tasks this nation needs.  I am grateful that more people will have health insurance coverage than could have it before.  I hope preventive and integrative health care will be included in the plans being made.  I believe these can improve people's health and lower costs too.

Question 5

can you tell me how am i suppose to afford obama care?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Obama care offers the ability for those with no coverage to get insurance.  This of course costs some cash but there is the ability to get some assistance.  Those who have picked up this insurance are delighted with the plans they have gotten.  A portion of the political spectrum is opposed to this but it will be interesting to see the reaction of the covereds when it is withdrawn.

Question 6

when do people start getting their obama-care benefits?

Accepted Answer

Additional state laws have passed since that time, to actually do the improvements required under the federal law.

Question 7

i don't understand what obama vs romney want to do with medicare?

Accepted Answer

Election is over: Bolth claimed that they wanted to help continue it and protect seniors.  Obama wants to adjust it and keep it solvent.  Romney wanted to privatize or eliminate it altogether.  The voters have made their choice on this matter.

Question 8

does obama owe every pensioner who cannot afford it three basic meals a day?

Accepted Answer

? A strange question: The aca did not establish a free meals program for the elderly, and even if it did the president would not be personally responsible for funding it.  The main thrust of the aca was to establish mechanisms for those without employer based insurance to get coverage, and some cost saving mechanisms thrown in.

Question 9

when did obama pass the health care reform?

Accepted Answer

Early first term: This was passed as a joint activity of the US House and US Senate who modified the bill and agreed upon its provisions.  Obama did not pass the bill but signed it after the Congress passed it.  This is how all legislation is fabricated.

Question 10

how is obamas health care plan going to affect doctors?

Accepted Answer

Many ways: It is an economic certainty that this plan will lead to rationing of health care. Therefore, physicians will likely treat patients with more advanced disease. More importantly, a survey by the dpma, a non-partisan association of doctors and patients showed that 83% of doctors have considered leaving medicine because of obamacare.
