President Obama: "And part of what I think the resistance that we've seen ramp up particularly over the last couple of months is all about is the opponents of health care reform know they're going to sign up. In fact, one of the major opponents, when asked, well, why is it that you'd potentially shut down the government at this point just to block Obamacare, he basically fessed up. He said, well, once consumers get hooked on having health insurance and subsidies, then they won't want to give it up. (Laughter.) I mean, that's you can look at the transcript. This is one of the major opponents of health care reform. It is an odd logic. Essentially they're saying people will like this thing too much and then it will be really hard to roll back."

Obamacare is a giant leap forward on the path of more bureaucracy, less choice, worse quality, and higher cost. It continues removing decisions from consumers and providers and placing them with third parties. It makes health care decisions even more contingent upon rulings by the IRS (THE IRS!!!) than they already were and the fact that our health care financing system is largely overseen by our tax collection agency should be absurd on its face, and yet Obamacare doubles down on this absurdity.

Has the president or any Congressman ever answered the question that if Obamacare is so, so good, why are they getting waivers for it???

The American people will love ObamaCare about as much as our congresscritters and their staffers love ObamaCare.

Many young, healthy people don't carry insurance. But now they will be forced to carry insurance and at what cost?Not forced. The penalty for not having insurance is just a pittance the first several years -- IIRC $250 in 2014, and increasing quite slowing for several years. At some point the penalty is slated to increase dramatically, but we'll be into single-payer by then.

"Many young, healthy people don't carry insurance. But now they will be forced to carry insurance and at what cost?"
I wonder if this is behind the sudden, nationally-coordinated effort to raise wages at fast-food restaurants. Most of those employees are young people, and if they don't get a substantial raise SOON they will really feel the impact of having to buy health insurance, even at subsidized rates. It will feel like a big pay cut.

They will. Just give crack to a control group for 2 weeks and they will love it and just try to take it away from them. They will love it even knowing that it is really bad for them. People did not want social security when FDR forced it on us. You don’t have to take it away to hear the squeals, just try to cut it 1%. If people get hooked on Obamacare care, it will be here to stay, even if it is the worst possible healthcare system for the US.

Obama: GOP Scared Because They Know People Will Love Obamacare Yeah, they'll love it when the IRS and SWAT team breaks down their door enforcing it. Sure they will!

Hey, I am not forced to pay taxes. However, if I don't pay my taxes....
Also, I heard from our HR folks where I work that the first year will be $95 and then two years later approx. $600. Maybe a lot more after that.
They'll adjust the amount based on mid-term elections and such.

Yup. How about a “tax” increase. :)
And if Conservatives spin it that way, it could mean a lot in future elections.
