You're right, there is no free lunch( unless of course you're one of the people mentioned who don't pay for their healthcare). When ObamaCare goes into full effect I'll be subsidizing the people who can't afford to buy their own insurance thru higher premiums and potentially higher taxes. If ObamaCare is repealed, I'll still be subsidizing the un-insured via higher insurances premiums and higher medical costs. To be honest, it kind of makes me apathetic to whole issue.
