Why is the 2010 affordable care act controversial?

Currently the Main controversies are in regards to1. The manner in which it was voted into law (Having only been provided a copy of the 2000 page bill 2 hours prior, No congressman had time to read it ) Every Democrat in congress who voted for the law has denied ever reading it prior to the vote. In fact they were told by the president that it was "Too important to read it". So no one read it.2. The defacto criminalization of poverty, in that it declares a criminal offense (albeit a federal misdemeanor) if one can't afford or is just too poor to to buy health insurance. That person is now guilty of a misdemeanor criminal offense and fined through Taxation for being poor.3. The eventual Cost. It is unclear what the eventual cost of expanded coverage under the new Health Insurance policies will be over time. Industry experts can give wide variations in projections of premum rates that range from 200 to 500 percent of pre ACA costs. Variation is unavoidable due to unkowns in the various influencing factors.4. The exemption of undocumented residents. Although everyone is entitled to emergency health care, only citizens and legal residents will be penalized for not having the insurance to pay the bill.AnswerThe PPACA is unconstitutional. Beginning in 2014, the bill will require all Americans to purchase health insurance. This is the first time in history that the federal government has ever forced Americans to buy anything, simply on the grounds that they are citizens of this country. If the Act is upheld, the powers of the federal government might as well be limitless.

Why do people think that ObamaCare is bad for Americans?

Most do not. Another View It is proving to be a disaster to implement, and is much more expensive than the public was told. People are seeing their work hours cut back to fall under the minimum amount of hours so their employers won't have to pay the massive costs incurred. Today, 300,000 people in Florida received cancellation notices of their health insurance. Most DO think it's bad for the country, nearly 60%!

I worked for Lockheed Martin 30 years and could not afford insurance. Does ERISA provide health insurance benefits to its pensioners under the health care act?

You have asked a complicated and somewhat confused question. Briefly: Erisa and the Affordable Health Care Act are two separate federal laws. One does not provide benefits under the other. ERISA is the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, which is a federal law that established guidelines for private pension plan administration and investment practices. There is currently a class action suit against Lockheed by retirement plan participants who allege the company caused huge losses to the retirement plan. The Affordable Health Care Act is a federal law that includes multiple provisions that would take effect over a matter of years, including the expansion of Medicaid eligibility, the establishment of health insurance exchanges and prohibiting health insurers from denying coverage due to pre-existing conditions. If you are not at retirement age you can apply for insurance coverage under the Affordable Health Care Act. You must check to see if your state has its own exchange or you must apply through the federal website.
