奥巴马正通过医改来建立自己的伟大功勋。
You mean the one that works fine and hashelped millions of people examine different health plans and sign up? Uhh…great?
你指的是那个运行良好并促使几百万人查看不同健康计划并进行注册的医保计划吗？嗯，很好？
It has also hurt millions by forcing us offour old plans that were better AND cheaper than Obamacare. It’s also forcinghealthy people to get insurance when they might just want to save money for acouple years.
但是奥巴马医改也迫使数百万人脱离原先的医保计划，而原先的医保计划更好也更便宜。而且它迫使健康的人们购买保险，而这些健康的人们本来是想存几年钱的。
It’s also forced hundreds of companies totake in people with “Previous Conditions” that could not get insuredanywhere at any cost.
奥巴马医改也迫使很多公司给员工购买保险。
