You forgot to mention the occasional admittance of being pro-Obamacare when pressed.

Even if you’re not a troll, you’re no better than one. You’re a pathetic, ignorant disgrace.

Enjoy the loss of every decent bit of healthcare you ever had, parrot, and enjoy your death panels.

What is an “American” business? Corporations are global entities, shareholders are spread out throughout the globe.

On what basis would you be be pro-Obamacare?

It can’t be because you want lower cost (premiums, co-pays, deductibles).

It can’t be better access.

It can’t be because you are in favor of more jobs.

It can’t be because you are in favor of less federal government.

It can’t be because you don’t want the federal government to decide what care you get (or don’t get).

It can’t be because you are against federal dollars used for abortion.

It can’t be because you don’t want the federal government to collapse the current system.

Seriously, if it can’t be any of the reasons list above, then what could it be??

Whatever.

America is a land of free opinions, and sometimes we disagree.

Even on big issues. Don’t be too opposed to other opinions.

That’s all I’m saying.

Again I do not belong to a government program.

If my private employer lays me off, I’m screwed.

This is the basis for my support of Obamacare.

I don’t want to lose all insurance if I get laid off.

That is also why I want us to work, at returning American jobs.

I wonder what other admittances have yet to be leaked.

Not that Obamacare is law, you are much more likely to lose your private employer coverage and be forced onto an exchange. Are you so f&cking stupid that you seriously don’t understand that? And if you do get dropped, you won’t be able to afford the insurance you’ll be forced to buy! Are you too f&cking stupid to understand that?

How in the world can anyone take you seriously about your incoherent ramblings of ‘bring back American jobs’ when you can’t even think your way through something as simple as Obamacare? Seriously, you are a freaking ‘tard.

Have you looked into how inflationary that would be?

I am in the t-shirt printing industry. Most of the blank shirts we purchase are made overseas. Most of the big American companies like Hanes, Fruit of the Loom, etc., no longer manufacture here in the US. You can buy shirts made here, but they are considerably more expensive.

One of my vendors offers white t-shirts, made overseas, for $1.30 per shirt. The same white t-shirt, made in the USA, wholesales for $3.00 each. I can barely sell white printed t-shirts for $6 each in quantity. To keep my margin, I would have to sell white t-shirts in quantity for $9 each!

As long as unions have a stranglehold on manufacturing jobs in this country, we will not be competitive. I have been told that an entry level job in a textile manufacturer is $15 an hour and full benefits. The unions have got the pay they wanted, just much fewer actual jobs to pay that wage.

He’s a communist...no doubt in my mind. This is what we already know about him...

- Pro universal health care including the use of federal dollars to kill unborn children on demand.
- In favor of federal government deciding which industries fail/survive. Very hostile to free markets.

And here we go, again the DC GOP (and surrender monkey Republicans) are saying that Hillary will be the nominee and Christie is the only person who can beat her.

It is not about insurance, it is about the feds controlling 1 7th of the economy, unsustainable costs, the loss of jobs.......NOT insurance.
Let me make it simple:
control the production of health care
control the distribution of health care
control every thing

Exactly. Insurance is just a means to an end....The purpose of ObamaCare is to destroy all vestiges of private health care, and pave the way for Single Payer. It’s like the “Warsaw Ghetto” a temporary holding area while the plans for the “Final Solution” are being made.

If obamacare is fully implemented you will be lucky if you ever work again full time.
There are people who actually see the connection between defunding obamacare and the future of the USA.

With the fully implemented and funded obamacare will mean business WILL move overseas to avoid the confiscatory costs.
obamacare WILL cost jobs in the USA

It's amazing to me that people like CNN spout what that do and don't even listen to themselves . . . .

You're screwed BECAUSE of Obamacare! If it wasn't for the federal government meddling in our health care system, you would not be threatened with a tax in addition to having to look for a new job. Tell me, how will paying $150 a month for a health insurance policy that has a $5,000 deductible make you more secure? You do know what a "deductible" is, don't you? And then in the event that you do run up $5,000 in medical bills in a single year, you will have to pony up a $50 co-pay every time you visit your government appointed doctor. Is "co-pay" an alien concept to you?

All of these Obama, Obama, Ummm, Ummm, Ummm idiots have not idea what "free" health care means. Sheesh!!

LOL! Okay, well, they can go ahead and play their insane games, but I'm done being pulled along. Because insanity is defined as doing the same thing over and over while expecting a different result. No more moderate quislings for me.
