Does Obama wont the government to pay for the health care for all citizens?
The "Obamacare" Act, as far as I can decipher (I'm not a politician or professor so to some extent this is my opinion) gives a government option to healthcare. Essentially the government becomes your health insurance. Just like Medicare/Medicaid pay for benefits, so would the new government health insurance. Furthermore there would be a universal mandate to get health insurance. That means that you have to have health insurance, just like you have to have car insurance. If you don't have health insurance, either private or public, you have to pay a tax.

Uses of Government Health Insurance?
Government health insurance is important because it is the only health care option available to some people. Programs like Medicaid service the children, the poor and the destitute while Medicare is designed for retirees. Other government health insurance options include Tricare, which treats active duty service members and their families, the Veterans Administration that provides health care for military veterans. Additionally, members of Congress and other government officials have their own health insurance plan. New government health insurance laws are going into effect that require all Americans to buy health insurance or face a fine. The move is intended to reduce average health insurance costs by forcing people who do not use health care to help offset the overall cost off coverage.
