Obama's Thinking 'Evolves' on Health Care Requirements

Acknowledging that his thinking on the issue has "evolved," President Barack Obama says he could support a law mandating that individuals purchase health care coverage, with fines for those who do not, but he stressed that there must be some kind of waiver for those who are simply unable to afford it. (snip)

During the election campaign, Obama said he was opposed to a federal law mandating the purchase of health care coverage.

Why is anyone watching this? We should be ignoring it. Instead of responding to everything the Left does, we should be going about our own business, and doing what we want to do.

[Def Conservative]

EVERYBODY SHOULD BOYCOTT THIS! DO NOT WATCH!!!!

[SlowBoat407]

Fer cryin’ out loud, just PAY the premiums for people who can’t afford it. It’d be a lot cheaper than the garbage he’s proposing.

[GeorgiaDawg32]

don’t watch what?? :-)

[MagUSNRET]

I am looking forward to FOX news channel’s ratings going THROUGH TE ROOF while the Muslim Imbecile is yapping on ABC :-)

[oblomov]

What is “ABC News”? Is it a channel on cable?

[End Times Sentinel]

I just want to say you're all a bunch of sour-pusses.

Be a fountain, not a drain.

Personally, as I enter middle age, there are a lot of uncomfortable, invasive tests looming in my future. With Obamacare, I won't have to worry about them because they won't be availible.

Plus, with my IRA, 401k, and Social Security wiped out, living past my productive years is a dreadful specter.

[WHBates]

Who would watch such a thing. I’m not in the habit of watching government propaganda.

[Lurking in Kansas]

+1

[conservativefromGa]

I’ll be watching ‘Pitchmen’ on Discovery

RE: "Why is anyone watching this? We should be ignoring it. Instead of responding to everything the Left does, we should be going about our own business, and doing what we want to do" Isn't that what we're doing??? LOL

[9YearLurker]
