This article provides keen insight into the ramifications of the Obama healthcare plan, as well as the shortcomings in fulfilling the promises that most Americans relied upon, that increased their hopes that the changes that were necessary for this country would come into fruition. This article starts out by settinng the stage as to the immense expectations that Americans had in reference to the election of Obama as president of the United States, as well as the paradigm changes that most Americans thought would take place upon the individual's election.
