Currently, around 40 million people or so in the US have no health insurance coverage. In certain countries with universal healthcare (Switzerland, Japan etc.) losing all your assets to obtain medical care is unheard of and would be considered scandalous. In the US, it happens all the time.
I'm still skeptical Obamacare will work, especially with lack of commitment to curb illegal immigration and lawsuits.
Obamcare is a first step, but I agree it has real problems. First there should have been a single payor system like medicare,and negotiations with drug companies regarding pricing, but the lobbies killed that. There should also be tort reform on the malpractice awards, that will come.
