Nope, just the mandate that you have to buy something you might not want to buy.

more Obamacare success: the loss of health care has become the single most significant issue for Dem candidates in the recent off season elections
Pennsylvania, Virginia and Maine show the way for Democrats in 2018: Fight for health care
https://www.dailykos.com/stories/20...y-for-Democrats-in-2018-Fight-for-health-care
While Republicans should be taking a close look at that exit polling from Tuesday's special election in Pennsylvania, where Democratic Rep.-elect Conor Lamb pulled off a stunning victory, so should Democrats. Because Republicans—including popular vote loser Donald Trump—are still hellbent on sabotaging the law, and every sally against it needs to be fought tooth and nail.
Let's just recap what voters told PPP in the exit polling in Pennsylvania:
52 percent of voters said health care was a top issue for them—15 percent said it was the most important issue, another 37 percent said it was very important
64 percent of the people who said it was their top issue voted for Lamb, while 62 percent of the people who said it was very important supported him
44 percent of voters, in this district that voted for Trump by 20 points, said they support the Affordable Care Act
53 percent of voters said they oppose the Republican plans to repeal the healthcare law
48 percent say the Republicans are sabotaging the law and disapprove
59 percent think it should be kept in place with fixes made
This isn't the first time a Democrat won a tough election where health care was a top issue for voters. Let's go back to last November when 4 out of 10 voters in Virginia's election said that health care was their primary issue as they voted to elect Democrat Ralph Northam as governor. Also in Maine, where a Medicaid expansion ballot initiative won in a landslide.
Republicans aren't going to stop their assault on health—whether it's Obamacare or Medicaid or Medicare—and they are doing so at their political risk. But it means Democrats have to run hard on the issue. No compromises. No backing down on anything. Even if they're threatening a shutdown.
Evidently, Trump's Republican death panels are screwing his party out of electoral victories. Heck, told ya so.

U.S. Health Care Ranked Worst in the Developed World
The U.S. health care system has been subject to heated debate over the past decade, but one thing that has remained consistent is the level of performance, which has been ranked as the worst among industrialized nations for the fifth time, according to the 2014 Commonwealth Fund survey 2014. The U.K. ranked best with Switzerland following a close second.
The Commonwealth Fund report compares the U.S. with 10 other nations: France, Australia, Germany, Canada, Sweden, New Zealand, Norway, the Netherlands, Switzerland and the U.K. were all judged to be superior based on various factors. These include quality of care, access to doctors and equity throughout the country. Results of the study rely on data from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, the World Health Organization and interviews from physicians and patients.

More right wingnut fake news. If it wasn't for Republican obstructionism, they may have had a decent medical system that didn't bankrupt patients. But we all know that the fake Christian right hate Jesus teachings about helping the sick.
