Don't tell THEM that or they may take up that kind of talk. Republicans had nothing to do with that law in that not one of them was in on writing it with all those union bosses and the few Dem Senators who were allowed in Harry's chambers. Nope, they didn't help write any of it and they voted against it.
Um, the Dems didn't want the individual mandate - they wanted a universal, single payer system or at least a robust public option. They were forced to compromise and include the Republican individual mandate.
History lesson for the day: The individual mandate was first proposed in congress in 1993 by these senators:

I remember that I was just joking around.
It's a self-inflicted wound. Let's hope it's lethal.
There is no doubt that the Progressives knew full well that what they were doing with their bribes and back room deals against the very loud protests of the majority of the U.S. Public was against the Constitution and beyond the powers granted to Congress by it.
They do not care and that's a major problem and threat to the U.S..
A delusional illegal President is a threat to the U.S.....but do not worry Obama is not omnipotent..when Obama is informed the 3rd Infantry Division based at Ft. Stewart and Ft. Benning is rolling up I-95 he will do what they tell him to..."seek political asylum in Iran".
Obama? If you'd said Nancy Pelosi I would have agreed with you. People forget Obama was conceding defeat at one point on the healthcare bill.
Pelosi forced Obama to strap them on and go out and do battle. I'm no fan of hers, but without her there would be no Obamacare.
Actually, it took a very strange turn of events before the bill was passed into law. The House, as you say, passed the Affordable Health Care Act and sent it to the Senate. Senator Reid then replaced the entire bill with his version of the legislation. The Senate passed Sen. Reid's version of the Affordable Health Care Act and sent it back to the House. The House passed Senator Reid's version unamended, thereby enacted the bill into law.
It is Senator Reid who deserves the bulk of the blame, not Speaker Pelosi.
I had to stop here, I couldnt take any more laughter..
So now its a positive to have your laws rules unconstitutional, and have to have it taken to the Supreme Court.. haha.. oooh my
Republicans do the same thing. Look at the immigration laws. You don't think they knew half of their legislation would be shot down? Of course they did.

Liberlas never afraid to defend incompetence.. Just utterly astounding.
Then why do Republicans do the same thing with immigration? Also, there was precedent with the health care law attempt. Car insurance is mandatory. Why not health insurance also?
Are laws that force people to wear seat belts kinda nazi?
If someone wants to risk their lives to drive without a seat belt, who has any right to tell them otherwise?
