Romneycare is mandatory for individuals and businesses just like Obamacare (they were both created by the same economist.)
Neither are mandatory.. You dont know what you're talking about

And since Obamacare will give everyone health insurance and preventive medical care, it will save America (HUGE) amounts of money in the distant future (there will be less sick people.)
Hey chad, 30,000,000 WILL STILL GO WITHOUT INSURANCE..
do you understand that?
And the ONLY way the federal governments deficit will decrease is BECAUSE TAXES ON ACA are now going to the federal government, NOT the healthcare industry..
I'm waiting for you left wing kooks to tell me how me paying a tax to the federal government, will save my life, since I STILL dont have insurance..
Me paying the government a tax, doesnt reinburse the hospitals for my treatment..
In the same way adding a $5 tax per gallon of gasoline would probably eliminate the federal deficit.. that doesnt mean hospitals are going to be more solvent, or that people will be treated.... Or that its a good idea..
tell me Chad, why do you care more about the government than the people being harmed? Do you hate americans?
If you click (see Table 3) in your source, it goes to the CBO's actual website. The CBO says,
"CBO and JCT estimate that, on balance, the direct spending and revenue effects of enacting the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act would yield a net reduction in federal deficits of $130 billion over the 2010-2019 period."
They are wasting their time in the idea that sooner or later Obama is going to do on his own what they want to get passed.
And Obama wont be President forever..
If he was smart, he'd work with the GOP to make reasonable changes to get it working properly, rather than sitting on his hands and pretending everything is fine, leaving the GOP no choice but to repeal it as soon as they have the votes.
This poll was done by the Harvard School of Public Health.
"63% of Massachusetts residents support the health care reform legislation enacted in 2006, 21% oppose it while 6% are not sure and 9% have not heard or read about the law."
If the ACA turns out to be something a little short of Apocalyptic I’m guessing many conservatives, especially moderate ones, will stay home and not vote just to punish Republicans for wasting their time for eight years.
