Can you explain how it's not working?
Also, this isn't socialized healthcare as seen in other countries, so it's difficult to directly compare what's happening now to what happens in Canada or Europe.

Better yet, can you explain to me how any part of itΒ IS actually working?Β  This was a mess before it started and I promise you it will get worse.

No fair answering my question with another question. I insist that you explain what's not working for you.

What personally worked for me: $300/mo insurance is still less than $2500/mo medication. I would not have been able to buy that insurance for my existing condition without Obamacare.

O.K. The biggest problem with it is that it is not our government's or any governments place to regulate and control a healthcare system and treat it like it is something that is everyone's right to have whether they pay for it or not. Healthcare is not a right. It is something that has to be purchased and paid for. You believe it is fair for someone else to have to pay for your existing condition? How much of someone elses money that they worked for do you think you have a right to? All of us being expected to pay our fair share to someone else, while manyΒ able-bodied individuals contribute nothing,Β will be one of the key elements in the downfall of this great nation.

You could say the same thing about any other group commodity. Why should I pay property taxes for the local school? I don't have kids.

Oh, I don't know...maybe the stethoscope around his neck, or the doctors coat.

But I could also argue It could be a figurine about doctors rather than healthcare (which is the system which manages one's bills in order to be treated). I don'tΒ see a bill or anything which suggest that it's about socialized healthcare.

Not sure what you mean by troll but glad I could spark a conversation. The doctor is portrayed as the angel of death if that helps. Best regards.
