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.

My favorite show is So You Think You Can Dance. I’d rather watch some strong young kids who’ve been working hard all week show what they’ve achieved than Barack Obama who’s played all week and now wants to lie to us.

Meanwhile Soros & his buzillionaire pals are shorting healthcare stocks... laughing all the way to their Swiss banks.

I will commit to watching it only to the point where my colon does it’s first flip, then it’s off! I have leaned on fellow Freepers so many times in the past to shield me from the detritus of the libs’ contrails. It is my turn now. I’ll do my best to report what I see/hear without my own commentary. Might mean I have to bite my tongue,,err,,fingers.

It would help to have a refresher course on those old familiar faces/plants from the Obama campaign,,,just in case they show up again...
If anyone is so inclined, feel free who to tell me to watch for and wish me luck!

Bless you for making this sacrifice. I would like to assist you but I’m still recovering from the press conference yesterday - I hope you understand.

As for the plants just assume they are all plants - it’s easier that way. Oh no, there goes my stomach again. the pain...

I don’t want to watch but I have this urge to be tormented. The late hour for prime time viewers is odd.

Dr. Orrin Devinsky, a neurologist and researcher at the New York University Langone Medical Center, said that elites often propose health care solutions that limit options for the general public, secure in the knowledge that if they or their loves ones get sick they will be able to afford the best care available, even if it's not provided by insurance.

Devinsky asked the president pointedly if he would be willing to promise that he wouldn't seek such extraordinary help for his wife or daughters if they became sick and the public plan he's proposing limited the tests or treatment they can get.

The president refused to make such a pledge, though he allowed that if "it's my family member, if it's my wife, if it's my children, if it's my grandmother I always want them to get the very best care."

ObamaCare is for YOU, not for HIM. Do as he says, not as he does.

Sure sounds like he was agreeing with Dr. Devinsky that he is above this coverage.

I refuse to turn on the TV. Nobody is saying much here. Maybe the teleprompter broke tonight.
