ObamaCare or RomneyCare?

Agreed. RomneyCare was an accomplishment that a real leader would stand behind. Romney seems to follow the winds to an embarrassing degree. No matter what you might think of this, you have to credit Obama for having the cajones to get it done, and to take the political heat. From what I have seen, I cannot imagine Romney doing something comparable.

She said the States that opt out won't have to subsidize those who can't afford it. This whole thing is making my head spin and I'm not sure I like any of what I'm hearing. My husband tried it out for a time but dropped it as it was costing him nearly $800 a month. He dropped it, but still thinks its a good idea. I know my post doesn't make much sense because I'm partially questioning how badly we just got screwed by Congress, I feel angry and don't quite understand all the rules. I ESPECIALLY don't like that people will be fined and jailed for not getting obamacare.

OMG can you not listen to your sister's therapy group Do your own research on this and then form an opinion. This is exactly the problem.....people are so ill informed

Not therapy group, physical therapy group. She is a general office manager over their central Texas clinics and works with insurance companies.

And often do they use each? If its 10:1 Obamacare to Romneycare I would say that shows bias.

When I watched last week they never used "Romneycare" much like they never talked about the benefits of the new clean air regs, just the costs.

I think this should be done at the state level. Not federal. Every state has different needs, economy, etc. A one size fits all is not good for the entire country.

Actually, they cannot put you in jail for not paying. I read the decision. There is no jail penalty for not paying.

Thanks for clarifying that for me
