One thing I appreciated about Obamacare is how its structure flowed pretty logically from the value, or moral axiom, that people should not be able to go bankrupt from health care costs alone. That's also the kind of value that people can disagree on, though. For as much as we might believe that it's unfair for someone to do all the right things and then still end up with the wrong illness and go bankrupt, for others that is the natural order of things. Although it's worth pointing out that it was still possible (pre-ACA) to go bankrupt from health care costs even if you had done well at amassing capital. Altogether I think that's why so many people see this as deeply distorted and unfair, the sort of thing that government should smooth out.
