There were plenty of Democrats who didn’t think that the ‘Individual Mandate’ would stand up to Constitutional scrutiny.Which is different from thinking that it was a bad idea.
Ima said “Had it gone the other way the liberals would be cussing worse and the lawyers would all be in full blast.”ScottPM said “It’s the libs who hate.”A reminder, lest you forget: The individual mandate was included at the insistence of the Republicans, who then tried to use it to have the entire law declared unconstitutional.
Rush, Cantor, Hannity, McConnell, Boehner, Savage, Fux News in general, it’s been 3 1/2 years of constant “Kenyan” to bypass what they REALLY mean! But don’t worry, the JBS and TEA party fully understand the Kode Keeper Konstant.
Certainly, any really well thought out “Single Pay” system would have been – and WOULD BE, were it possible to get such past Bawling Baby Boehner and his ilk – a far, Far, FAR better option. But, for that, we’ll just have to wait until November, and . . . pray, maybe.==Agreed.But there are bad ideas and BAD!!!! ideas.If ACA had been deemed unConstitutional, Obama would not be likely to get a Single Payer system through, even if presented with a Democratic supermajority in both House and Senate in the second term.And expecting Romney to do anything of the sort would be hopeless.
the mandate is and was a republican idea. Written at the Cato Institute and with the Heritage foundation’s blessings. They were angry at the uninsured “freeloading” by getting there medical care in the emergency rooms all over.And who paid for their medical bills? it was the tax payers.
“…virtual citizenship test on MSNBC”I managed 90% but 2 were guessed so I will claim 80%. I fared better than on the U.K’s. which I failed (passmark 75%, I had 71%)
