When the fact that young, healthy people are not signing up for health insurance...... (illegal, myth)

I bet they don't collect a dime in "penalties". (Taxes)

The problem is -- Obama and Reid shut down the government rather than agree to delay obamacare. How can he cancel or delay it now?

He will prove that Ted Cruz was right.

^^^Absolutely, and it si the Democrats running for re-election next year who'll have to defend ObamaCare, as well as the fact that they voted for it.

Everyone one needs health insurance without health insurance when you need major surgery you will have $50k+ worth of medical bills then you will file for bankruptcy and have to start over no one wants to have to start over. Medical bills are #1 reason people file for bankruptcy

After more than a generation of the right-wing promulgating petulant, myopic self-interest as an ethic, I think it would be a stretch to call such it "trolling" or "ignorant".

Yes that is certainly true but you are forgetting the fact that many young people that are healthy have this notion of invulnerability until later on in life.
Many opt out of insurance and keep that money.



Most realize that.

I would call that a large part of the Dems base.

Obama will never admit to it being a failure and this will go down in the history books along with him as being the worst us president in history . Him and his cronies , Moochelle and Joe "Bafoon" Biden are a joke for a leadership . Not one of them has an ounch of leadership qualities . Betcha alot of folks are missing George dubya Bush now . Me , myself I voted for Reagan and they sure dont make them like him anymore . We need strong leadership in this country and hopefully that is what we will get next election for president one can only hope at least .

He really should cancel it.
