OK, how many fishermen on here are paying $2500 less a year for health insurance, thanks to Obamacare...
You're citing a campaign quote about a specific policy change which isn't necessarily what was implemented as law.

I don't think any discussion on health care costs is valid without a good what if we kept the current course. Even with tort reform and interstate competition (which I support) there still are massive issues.
