"How will Americans be able to afford purchasing mandatory health care when most are surviving on unemployment"

People do have to pay tax on their welfare/unemployment, so I assume they would have to buy insurance with it too?

Not an Obama supporter, just read my freaking post history for the dozens of times I've said "I do not support Obama and am voting for Gary Johnson"

And I haven't seen MSNBC since Olbermann was on that channel. I get my news from the AP, BBC and WSJ, in addition to CNBC (which is a Republican-leaning channel)

Second-of-all, that number of American Adults at Work is highly misleading. The unemployment rate is under 10%, meaning that 90% of those who are actually trying to work are at work. The reason why so many American Adults (as a percentage) are out of the workforce is because they are old. It's called retirement. You see, there was this thing called the Baby Boom and a lot more children were born to a specific generation that is currently entering retirement. Not a hard concept.

Why is it that whenever a half-wit Obama-hater sees anything that questions their utter lack of logic that they assume the person stating that is an Obama supporter? Not everyone who thinks the TEA Party, the Birthers and the "Obummer" crowd are morons is an Obama supporter. Many of us are Republicans who have lost all faith in the party of "small government" that we've either become Ron Paul supporters (not me) or Libertarian supporters (me). Never been a Democrat, probably never will be, but I certainly am not one of the dolts who believes everything from right-wing blogs and blames the "liberal media" for lying about everything that's not a right-wing conspiracy theory.
