Liberalism truly is a mental disorder. Their mantra being I want it, I don't care what you think so we'll force our beliefs onto you.
Puh-lease!
And this is different from conservatism how??
The ACA is NOT a Liberal Plan. Let's not forget that this idea of an individual mandate is a conservative idea put forth by the republicans and originally supported by the Heritage Foundation and most reps in congress as the alternative to Hillary-care back in the 90's. The only reason we even have this type of health care law is because the dems moved so far to the right to try and get a few rep votes from those who had very recently supported the idea. And that is the reason there are so many that oppose the law. Conservatives don't like it because the Dems passed it (even though it was their idea and they liked it very much a few years ago) and Liberals don't like it because it is too conservative.
I have mixed emotions about whether I want it to be overturned or not. On one hand, I don't like the law because I'd prefer a real overhaul of our health insurance system like single-payer, or at least the "Public Option". Furthermore, letting it stand will make it even harder to move in that direction. However, I, and over 70% of Americans according to a recent poll, like many of the aspects of the law like elimination of pre-existing conditions, lifetime maximums, minimum standards, etc. and don't want to go back to the way it was and view the law as better than nothing. And since I don't have any confidence that a better alternative can get done with this congress, I hope it stands.
the original support for mandating healthcare by conservatives was thought of as personal responcibility. when looking closer it was revealed as taking a persons liberty by making them buy a product. that is when they left the support for government ran healthcare.
