the healthcare reform was a result of complicated partisan maneuvering to get over the finish line. many of those bandaids people complain about are a direct result of strong republican opposition. so much so that the final bill that passed was nowhere near what obama or anyone wanted. Blaming Obama and not the opposition in congress for any of this mess is really shortsighted.
if you really want to know the gory details of this process and healthcare in america read the excellent book by Steve brill:America's Bitter Pill.
and one more thing, you had insurance now but what happens in you lose your job or god forbid take a break for a few month to care for somebody.
The Democrats passed the bill in the senate 60-39, with 2 independents voting for, and all Republicans voting against. Then that bill was passed in the house with a vote of 219–212 with 34 Democrats and all 178 Republicans voting against it. This wasn't partisan, this was Democrats passing a bill without any Republican votes. The band-aids were to get moderate Democrats on board.
are you trolling? if you are serious about finding out read the book, he explains the horsetrading that was needed to pass the bill.
for a complex bill like that you cannot take one thing in isolation and complain you have to look at the context. Also, again, its congress not him. if you are gonna complain, complain about republicans that kept watering down the obamacare under bad faith negotiations (though eventually it passed without any red support).
