Candidate Obama saying Obamacare doesn't work in Presidential debate 1/31/2008OBAMA: I don't see those folks. And I think that it is important for us to recognize that if, in fact, you are going to mandate the purchase of insurance and it's not affordable, then there's going to have to be some enforcement mechanism that the government uses. And they may charge people who already don't have health care fines, or have to take it out of their paychecks. And that, I don't think, is helping those without health insurance. That is a genuine difference.http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/01/31/dem.debate.transcript/index.html
