I get that right wingers think Trumpcare is GOOD for the country.. I just don't know WHY.
Is it because it'll deliver the promised health care, or because it'll save us so much money??

This is the fallacy of false dichotomy. No one said that Obamacare is or would be perfect; there are issues, and it hasn't been quite as effective than thought: but has been much more effective than it likely would have been had nothing happened. Now, is your question about "why was a penalty imposed" a rhetorical question? Or have you googled it, or made an attempt to understand the purpose of the individual mandate? Side: Money

I know that bringing in jihadists seems good to left wingers. I just don't know why. To answer the question. A dead ratman in a bathtub would be better than Obamacare. 30 million people who were actually insured quit going to the doctor because of costs. They all died in the streets if you ask Excon.

Looks like it/he/she is citing the stat that 30 million people who were actually covered, didn't go to the doctor simply because it was unaffordable. The 30 million will "die in the streets" looks to be a mocking of Excon using the phrase about the 20 million that Obamacare covered for free by destroying the 30 million and others to get that free care in place.

It goes back to my other post. Their money is their money. Your lack of money is your problem. Anything that they think preserves their money is A O K. Never mind that it hurts them or their community in ways they haven't appreciated yet, because they'll just blame those pains on Obama anyway. Side: Money
http://www.npr.org/2017/01/19/510491692/ Over the course of Obama's presidency, one basic trend was clear across a variety of economic indicators: After he took office, things got worse before they got better. That's not his fault, of course; President Obama took office in the middle of a devastating recession, and he introduced a stimulus bill that helped pull the country out of its plunge. Since then, many areas of the economy have (slowly but surely) recovered nicely. Why is lack of money a problem if Obama was so great on the economy ? Side: Health Care

Again LeatherHead you are low information !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yet more bad news for Obamacare this week: Molina Healthcare lost $110 million on the exchanges last year, and the CEO told investors, “There are simply too many unknowns with the marketplace program to commit to our participation beyond 2017.” Molina’s losses suggest that instead of stabilizing, the exchanges are getting worse. There is no way to fix Obamacare without fixing the pool so that younger, healthier people buy insurance. Democrats had six years to come up with a way to do that (or perhaps I should say, a way to do that that could actually get through Congress without hordes of angry voters burning their representatives in effigy). They failed. Now Republicans are taking their shot, and so far at least, they don’t seem any more on target than Democrats were. The life expectancy of the individual market for health insurance is not looking good. From Left Wing Bloomberg news!!!!!!!!! Side: Health Care
