A law was enacted that the American public doesn't want.

Compare that to the definition of fascism:
a political regime that exalts nation above the individual, consists of a centralized government, and forcibly suppresses opposition

dictatorship:
a government in which total power is held by a dictator or a small group

Are you suggesting that every law be put to a referendum? That would certainly limit government involvement in people's lives.

The American public voted in the people that enacted the law.

the law was passed - a president was elected 2 x on that promise of nationa healthcare.... and ONLY a FEW- very few- do not want others to have insurance and making the US look like a nursey school.

The whole "defund Obamacare by removing it from the budget - even if it means shutting down the government" was stooooopid, stooooopid, stoooooopid - and the GOP is paying the price for that stupidity.

Im sorry the Reps are NOT paying for that stupidity- the govt workers are. Specially the lower paid ones, still paying child care, gas and have not clue when the money will come in... They lose nothing! that why they can play the games... nothing off their skin---and elections they have enough twisted ways to make themselves look like hereos at election time.

You have obviously never paid any attention to the behavior of ANY government agency.

Yes, especially true when leaders create chaos and then rush in to "solve" the problem, just so they can look like heroes. Ever see that happen?
