I just think Obamacare is that fucking useless.

It doesn't do shit in regards to the supposed goal it set out to do, which was to bring healthcare costs down. It just spreads healthcare costs to everyone so healthcare costs are artificially lower for some people, stays the same for some, and in fact goes up for others.
