If you currently support Obama and you get your healthcare through your employer will you still support Obama after your employer chooses to drop it's healthcare program due to Obamacare?

My employer will drop health care coverage but I was never for Obama so it is not applicable.

Absolutely not. At over $1,200/month that would be the straw that breaks the camel's back.

Let's see what the employer has to say first.

Depends on whether there is an employer and how much the subsidies would be.

Even if 30% of employers drop health coverage, that means 70% will keep it. And the full enactment doesn't come 'till '14. Plenty of time to move to a single-payer type plan.

All I can say is my employer provided BCBS at $1800 per month long before Obama was president. And that was just for my wife and I.

It's also plenty of time to eliminate Obamacare completely.

That won't happen. How exciting it will be to see how the world defames the US if republicans start advocating "Lets stop poor people from being able to go to the doctor!"

If our healthcare system goes back to what it was before, it would go down as one of the most violating acts of human rights ever in history.

You progressives are very clever in your appeal to the masses.

In reality you folks are responsible for the majority of this worlds problems.

You've setup a system in America where you require of it more than it can ever provide like the parasites you've become. You did that by making it become a health insurance provider along with a parental figure.

To keep the progressive scheme going you've created the environment in which we live where interventions are required to sustain your perpetual welfare state.

Don't believe me? Fine, ask your federal government.

Few periods in American history witnessed more ferment than the years between the founding of Hull House and American entry into World War I. This movement touched every aspect of American life. It transformed government into an active, interventionist entity at the national level, most notably under Presidents Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson, but also at the state and local levels. For the first time Americans were prepared to use government, including the federal government, as an instrument of reform.
