So those without insurance are hurting us more than themselves that is why I am for mandatory health insurance.
Purchasing your own health insurance, removing you from the role of public support (everyone supporting your health care) to self-support, with you paying for your own health care, is exactly why the individual mandate was created and pushed by the Republican party when they created "Obamacare" in the 1990's.

And that's exactly what it does. So strange the Republicans have turned the facts around to get people against self-responsibility (paying for your own health care) and removal of dependent but paying-capable people from support programs? They sure are good at messaging.

If the Republicans had been able to get Obamacare passed in the Gingrich/Clinton congress, as they wanted, we'd be alot better off as a country at this point in time. We wouldn't have 46 million children uninsured, with no health care. Romney went ahead and passed it in Mass, and it's vastly improved health care there, while lowering costs for everybody. It's a program proven to work.

Which is a reason why Obama adopted it - along with it being a Republican-created and long-supported program for starting to revamp private health care, without single payer.

Who would have thought that Republican hate and deliberate obstruction of this president would extend to screwing the American public, as the GOP denies support for their own health care reform in order to screw this president?

We should be ashamed, as a country, that 1/5 of our children live in poverty in America, get no health care and little food, and we have one of the highest neonatal death rates in the world.

Default Obamacare is working

Sad that Romney feels like he has to distance himself from his greatest achievement, Romneycare, in order to appease the Republicants on his right (i.e., the entire party). Kind of like the mantra heard during the Vietnam War, "we had to destroy the village in order to save it."

Romneycare is an achievement?

Just how much reality tv do you watch? Be honest, glue eater.

Hey, Coach, I see some of your fellow anarchists were arrested for trying to bomb things today. Keep up the good work!

Obama's own doctor thinks Obamacare will be a failure:
