It seems the President's plan is not as popular as he would like us to believe.

Truth be told- this really just means that lots of folks don't like the part of the healthcare reform that mandates health insurance.

Yep, myself included. What part of the Constitution gives the federal government the right to force citizens to purchase something from private business, and how might this be abused going forward? (IMHO, the Obamacare mandate is a testament to liberals' lack of ability to think long term.)

Truth be told ....the overwhelming majority of voters don't like Obamacare and want it all gone.

Testament shestament. This liberal agrees with you that the govt shouldn't be able to require you to purchase health insurance.

So does this conservative.

I don't necessarily agree that people SHOULD have to purchase health insurance (I go back and forth because they require you purchase CAR insurance and not having health insurance just seems dumb), but how do you propose dealing with all of those who do not have it and are racking up huge bills?

I am tired of paying for/subsidizing those who don't plan ahead and companies edging out others on pricing because they don't care for their workers.

Do think that many actually being ABLE to get it if they want is a big positive step.

Some people I know have pre-existing conditions that preclude them from health insurance, even if they could afford to pay for it.

ObamaCare has saved us a boatload of money until daughter turns 26.

Nobody is required to drive so car insurance is optional.

That is my family's story as well--many $ saved for nephew until he turns 26--thanks Mr Obama!
