They don't want Obama to have credit for anything, especially with the mandated rebates coming out this summer since it was upheld. something like $14 billion in rebates have to be sent out, so people are going to be getting checks from the overbilling done by the insurers and Obama will get the credit.

By the time Obama's done with his campaign commercials that explain what its benefits are. most people will be baffled that Romney wants to repeal it.

I think in 5-10 years people will fight you if you tried to take it away. I think it may make President Obama one of the greatest American presidents of all time.

Thirty years from now, it will have a "New Deal" like legacy.


Shame only creates a defensive position. Call it Obamacare and forever give the man his due.

The important thing is if the law helps people in need. That's the only thing that matters.
