Yes it is! And this is not the time to hinder job growth.

We have our own business and have not hired a new employee as our health insurance agent and attorney have told us to wait and see the damages Obamacare will impart on our business financially.

This mess needs to repealed asap.

I know that...........and it is a good thing. Why should people who can afford insurance, but choose not to buy it, get a free ride on the back of the people who do buy insurance?

I am tired, only, of the use of the Commerce Clause to mandate that all have insurance. The day has to come when use of that part of the Constitution stops being the reason that government can ram things down our throats.

i havent been to the doctor since i was like 10, and i'm 26 now, and i have no intention of ever going back.

an 80/20 plan at my employer is 156 a month. family plans at that company run 900 a month. no idiot is going to pay that, especially with the average us salary at 30k.
This is the exact attitude my brother had until he got cancer of the throat!
