Default Obama's social policy removes our choice and freedom.

How many different ways will Obama spin the same lie about this terrible product? Terrible analogy--shopping implies having some choice in the matter.

If something is a really good product that people want or need, it sells. People have the right to decide to buy what is best for them (or not, if they cannot afford it or don't need it). This analogy fails because people are being forced to purchase insurance plans that include coverage they DO NOT need. These new requirements are forcing prices up on the plans they now must pursue--how is that affordable or ethical? Making new requirements that force insurance companies to cancel existing plans in order to comply--then blaming the insurance companies--is dishonest.

Obama's progressive agenda for social change is dangerous to the freedoms upon which our country was founded. Deciding what products we are allowed to buy and then forcing Americans to purchase them is un-American.

Last two paragraphs are especially important--Obama's convictions are even more dangerous than his lies:

If you were, at least you would know that it works.

Which is something we cannot say about Choadbamacare.

The quote from President Choadbama is priceless -- "a really good product in the store but the cash registers won't work."

What a tool....an absolute venereal wart of a human being.

It's like requiring State Farm to only sell full coverage policies with rental car coverage, roadside assistance and other bells & whistles included. Sure, it's "better" coverage, but maybe you were doing fine with your liability only policy on your paid-for 1998 Honda Accord that you only drive on weekends.

A store most of us would drive right by
It's like a grocery store with the phones out of order, the registers don't work, the doors are stuck shut, where you can only buy baskets of pre-chosen food, regardless of what you need or want, the prices are insanely high, and it's filled with politicians extolling the virtues of letting them decide what you should buy and eat.

The developers of Apple Maps were fired upon its terible debut.

Would you like to carry on that analogy to this situation?

Haven't seen anyone fired yet. Don't expect it, either.

Calls for resignation go unheeded by head of HHS. She says that she doesn't work for the people calling for her to step down. Well, if she doesn't work for us, then it's understandable why she isn't looking out for us.

Obama just keeps on without missing a beat; backtracks and changes what he says he said (even though we have heard the original promises dozens of times). Does he really think anyone believes him, still?

Good product? Will he go on it, will Pelosi and the rest of the Democrats go on it?

Obamacare was supposed to take care of a few million uninsured. Now, with plans cancelled and dropped we will have an estimated 95 million uninsured. Let's see -- 95 x the penalty $$ = not hardly enough to pay for O'care. It's in shambles. He should admit it, appoint a committee to study and fix it.
(that will ensure that they at least, finally, read it!).

Mr. President, it's not the website. It's the plan that needs fixing.

Touche! But what I really want to know is if this is such a good law why did they force us to buy it? Another thing maybe I can buy one of Mwongo's Yugo's with my 2500 dollar savings
