The moderator of this debate says the first two presidential debates sparked a lot of interest into who the Affordable care act is affecting and how. The panel consisted of a small business owner, an insurance company exec and physicians for their first hand take.

 

Moderator Abe Schwab is an IPFW professor and the moderator of Monday's debate.  He says it was important for him to see first-hand who the affordable care act affects.

 

Mitt Romney says if he's elected he'll repeal Obama Care.  A Chief Physician executive at Parkview says if that happens, the reforms that Obama care has started, will likely be continued.

 

He says ObamaCare has pushed for access to care for everyone, pushed for preventative and wellness initiatives, and pushed to make healthcare more affordable.  He says that type of reform was needed.   

One woman says medical expenses have sent her family into bankruptcy.

 

A major concern raised in the panel discussion of Obamacare is the cost of supporting the uninsured.  This mother says at any given moment, it could happen to any of us.

 

One Canadian in the audience was all for Obamacare, saying access to healthcare for all citizens is overdue in the U.S.
