How do people against Obamacare feel about this woman who was only able to get treatment because of it?

Because the health insurance companies would rather watch someone die to save a few bucks. Free market!
Of course she didn't have healthcare to begin with, how would you feel being dropped when you HAVE healthcare? It's not a nice feeling.

My adult daughter is healthy but I'm glad she can stay on my insurance policy.
My wife is a cancer survivor. She could not change insurance companies without Obamacare.
I'm a Republican but realistically, we don't have an exclusive on good ideas.
P.S. Any of you little sh*ts that don't have insurance because you know the hospital will take care of you anyway: Stop stealing from the rest of us!

Look at this. You have made an excellent point, and how do the conservatives respond? A point that, after all the criticism of healthcare reform, deserves a response. People are sick and dying. This is a very serious issue. But instead this is what you got.
- V 107 ignores the question all together and instead says Obama has not passed any jobs bills. So he must have no idea how legislation is passed and has absolutely no idea what a filibuster is.
- Tripp Smith does not want to be forced to have healthcare. Because that's the real problem, people are tired of getting medical attention when they need it. If only we could get less.
- ahandle101 had the best answer. Why did Obama not get rid of disease and sickness all together? Deep thinker here. Obama failed because people still get sick.
- Smile says that it could not have been Obama's healthcare reform that helped because it does into fit into Smile's preconceived ideas of what Obama's healthcare reform entailed. And because Fox News and Limbaugh are never wrong, this women must not have been helped by Obama.
- Alien Spork ignores the question completely. Cognitive dissidence, its easier than seeing someone point. Instead he says don't come to the Y/A politics section to make a political point? Has Spork seen the posts here?

While there are quite a few idiots out there who hate everything about Obamacare because years of inbreeding have lowered their intelligence to chimpanzee levels, most people dislike Obamacare for its provision requiring individuals to purchase health insurance.
What's worst about the federal mandate is that this was Hillary's plan that Obama kept attacking itduring the primaries. Alas, Obama succumbed to pressure from the insurance lobbyists and caved like a little b@#ch instead of giving us a health care plan that would actually bring costs down either by including a public option or by regulating insurance companies more.
So to answer your question, being against Obamacare doesn't necessarily mean being against providing coverage regardless of pre-existing conditions.

Had she been under obamacare she would have waited an incredibly lng time for any treatment. Have you walked into a low income healthcare center and been immediately screened for anything? It took the center in my area 4 months to screen me for cancer and that was a stat order!! Took them another month to do surgery for the real problem. 5 months to diagnose and treat a gallbladder that stopped working. That's what obamacare is. Don't fool yourself. Go to an IHS facility sometime. See how the government runs the health industry if you don't believe me.

Why did she get treatment and not a cure? I thought you said health care reform, not a health insurance mandate. If health care was reformed, the industry would be looking into cures rather than the multiple treatments to prolong your suffering.

do you forgot what the GOP and their supporters stand on that particular issue?
people who can't afford an health care insurance
they just need to die quickly in order to maintain our health care cost down
they all going to die anyway so that is the solution
for Freedom & Democracy & Equal Opportunity
God Bless America
