If Romney Wins the Presidency...

[DaShi]

Romney and all of the Republicans have said they'd eliminate the entire law and I'm hoping that they do so, because the most popular parts of the law are the worst parts.

Then Romney's been off message for the last few months, unless you think he's lying.

Joss Whedon knows what would happen if Romney gets elected and he likes what he sees.

I just love how all the rich people in the US have hoodwinked all the dumb people into making the rich richer...

I find it funny that you think the rich being richer is bad.

[Kidlicious]

Are we really that divided on social issues? Outside of the left and right fringes, there seems to be a sensible majority that agrees that abortion should be safe, legal and rare, that gay marriage is no big deal, that weed should be legal, etc.

There's no majority on any of those issues.

He's not going to cut taxes, he's going to flatten taxes.

It is if they hoodwink dumb people into giving them more money. Unless you think televangelists are job creating capitalists who make us all better off.

it's the tax on employees who don't have health insurance.

Why should they continue to get a free ride on the system?

[Dinner]

Yeah, **** you free riders!

[MrFun]

It's not the individual mandate I dislike, it's the tax on employees who don't have health insurance, the requirement that parents' plans support kids until age 26, and ESPECIALLY the non-exclusion of pre-existing conditions.

How do you propose that uninsured people who have a preexisting condition get the health care they need?

[regexcellent]

Um...by paying for it?

If it's a pre-existing condition then what you're buying is not insurance. It's like buying insurance to cover my pre-wrecked car. That's retarded.

The benefit to society of health insurance is that costs are spread out to others who are fortunate. The fact that pre-existing conditions aren't covered is a market failure that is corrected by regulation.

Jesus you guys don't even listen to your own candidate any more, do you?

"Pre-existing conditions are covered under my plan,"

...No, that's not how insurance works, nor is it how it should work.

Look, if I total my car, should I be allowed to go to Geico, buy a policy, and then force it to buy me a new car? Obviously not.

Obviously not, because nobody cares if you total your car and don't have insurance. Health insurance is something else. People care if you have health insurance or not, especially if you are a misfortunate person and have a pre-existing condition.

Check yourself. Your evilness is coming through.
