I think most people are aggravated because following the bill being passed, the insurance companies decided to raise prescription costs. Do we blame Obama? No. Not at all. Those pharmaceutical companies were making plenty of money before. Essentially, they raised their costs out of spite and to gain support for privatized health care and opposition towards Obama's plans. No one gets angry with the pharmaceutics companies and they're really the ones to blame. They charge WAY too much for medication that ultimately keeps people alive.
