No it doesn't mention free however like any other government program
people forget about the fact they pay for much of it in taxes then
when they need it think it's free, witness G's comment on wondering
why he had to pay for an ambulance when he's paid taxes to the fire
department. You've swallowed the Obama seed and believe insurers are
the bad guys when it's really the rules and regulations implemented on
them by state and federal government. Add to that Medicare costs which
the government is currently reducing coverage while at the same time
reducing payments to doctors who are at the same time opting out of
the program, that's your Obamacare.

If you honestly think government can fix anything better I've got some
bridges for sale. What you are creating is a massive Freddie Mac/
Fannie Mae and when it starts to fail nobody will have the spine to
get rid of it just like Medicare and Social Security
