It's easy to blame Obama (or Bush) but they have little control over the real problems. The insurance industry as a whole is a huge racket.

If the insurance industry is a racket, it's hard to imagine why one would think that jamming more people into a broken system is a good thing.
Health insurance companies should be just that - insurance. People without insurance should not be forced to pay 4x the price of those with insurance. Reforming "managed care" would be a much better place to start IMO. Providing subsidies to people so they can obtain insurance is not sustainable and will likely add to the problem as people without health insurance previously load up on prescriptions and increase their consumption of healthcare, driving up costs, which in turn increase premiums, deductibles and copays.
