Wait until they have to start paying (taxes + premiums + cost of care) for what they're getting, with some benefits not even starting for 4 years, and no cost controls or premium caps in sight.

Then the will begin...

Well.... so what if Obama "cares" about it? I "care" about out of control deficits and costs. I care about individual freedom and reduction in Gov't power.

That's all fine and good. You have every right to care about individual freedom and smaller government. But the comment "so what if Obama cares about it" is kinda silly, no. After all, he's the President and you and I are simply citizens posting on C-D. Who really cares what we think?

Obamacare has nothing to do with care, it's all about insurance.

Obamacare - Obama and progressives in Congress care nothing about the Constitution other than to abrogate its sacred tenets of liberty.

Is what Obamacare means.

When the time comes for Obama to leave office I guess people will have to think of another catchy name. ESPECIALLY if people consider it successful. Wouldn't want Obama's name attached to anything positive now would we?

Aaaaahhhhhhhhhh, for the Gawdz, I so wanna watch when their companies either raise the employee contribution or cease healthcare benefits altogether.

Ooooohhhhhhhh, the whining, wailing and gnashing of teeth. Better be careful, there go the dental benefits.

Republicans seem to do a great job with messaging, but throwing the term Obamacare around all day seems like a huge miss.

wrong spelling of the word... CAIR > Home

OH, that's okay. He and his tribe will be associated with Obamacare for the rest of days. ALL of THEM.

Obamacare still sounds like Obama cares about medical care for all of us.
