Romney very clearly explained it... I like mandates, the mandates work. So, maybe we're splitting hairs here. I don't think we are. I know there's never an end once a government program starts. Even though the federal courts have determined that the government can't take part of the raisin harvest from a program that started over half a century ago, the program still exists.
So really, I consider this a non-issue in my appraisal of the dangers of a Trump presidency. The House and Senate have very clearly shown that one of the most hated government programs in recent history is never going away.
you were missing my whole point.....and NO, mandates are not the same as universal care for an entire country. But again, you are missing my point and trying to make one about which we do not disagree.
