This is the dumbest thought I have seen expressed on INGO in some time. Maybe the mods are up for round two.
You are an intelligent poster. Please tell me you aren't joining the truther/birther/banner camp.
Today we should remember that virtually everything government does is a ‘mandate.’ The issue is not whether Congress can compel commerce by forcing you to buy insurance, or simply compel you to pay a tax if you don’t. The issue is that this compulsion implies the use of government force against those who refuse. The fundamental hallmark of a free society should be the rejection of force. In a free society, therefore, individuals could opt out of “Obamacare” without paying a government tribute.
He'll be remembered as the president who signed a big tax into place and as the guy who set us on the road to a single payer health care system.Question: Fifty years from now, when I'm an old man with children and grandchildren (assuming I live that long and humanity hasn't wiped itself out by then) and Obama is long gone, how do you think the history books will remember Obama and the ACA?
For your information I am very smart and will be starting my fourth year of college this fall. And you're right, I don't know how to run a business, and I don't care too, but at one point HE DID provide health insurance but he no longer does for reasons that I've never asked about. Lastly, I haven't criticized ANYONE on this forum or insulted their intelligence because of their statements or political beliefs and unlike you am respectful enough of other people's opinions to refrain from doing so. I'd say more, but I'm not going to on a public forum.
Before I say anything, I don't mean any offense whatsoever to you Manwithnoname. But when I see this picture and others like it, I can't help but feel that people are overreacting. I mean, the countries held together for just under 300 years. We were invaded in 1812, nearly tore ourselves apart in the Civil War, we made it through TWO world wars, fought for what we believed was right through Vietnam, survived the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Cold War, made it through the Middle East two times around, and the crisis we're currently facing as a nation is the state of the economy. This great nation has survived all of these things, she will survive ACA.

"It is amazing that people who think we cannot afford to pay for doctors, hospitals, and medication somehow think that we can afford to pay for doctors, hospitals, medication and a government bureaucracy to administer it."

Lincoln still deserves to be hated.For example Abraham Lincoln was absolutely hated when he was in office by both Northerners and Southerners alike, and some people believed it was essentially the end of world. Centuries later he's remembered as one of the greatest President's to have ever held the office. The same can be said for other Presidents throughout history.
I'm voting for Romney because he's a stalwart for gun rights.

It is hilarious how they felt the need to label their participants. I guess the mouth breathers need such guidance.
