so the Obama plan is fine as long as you can afford it, except that there is going to be a mandate. This is the exact problem with the plan that has been pointed out many times. It's going to hurt as many people as it helps.

But hey, it's just a pony and anyone who says different is just a whiner or a hater. At least that's what I'm told.


I might also point out this quote from the link

President Obama: "I’m a Democrat. But I believe what Republican Abraham Lincoln believed: That Government should do for people only what they cannot do better by themselves, and no more. That’s why my education reform offers more competition, and more control for schools and States. That’s why we’re getting rid of regulations that don’t work. That’s why our health care law relies on a reformed private market, not a Government program.

That does not sound like a man who wants universal health care to me.

BTW I'm voting for Obama so please don't go there, I'm just pointing pout the flaw in the HCR that I keep being told is "a pony".
