Trust me, it's un-American to tell citizens how they're going to receive their healthcare.
With what, a crystal ball? Have you categorically refrained from predictions? Or do Missourians only apply this standard with negative predictions -- or for things they dislike?
Is that why he fought not to delay the rest of Obamacare?

Any major policy change involves uncertainties. What we can say is that the status quo isn't working. Premiums and costs spent years soaring; medical issues contribute to nearly half of all bankruptcies; employers are paying through the nose for insurance, and/or charging employees for it; care is only great for those who can afford to pay for it, and that's becoming a smaller slice of the pie.
And again: We can see that while Romneycare hasn't made MA paradise, it also hasn't resulted in an economic death spiral (e.g. unemployment rate is around the same as the national rate since at least 2003). I do not claim that every state will have the same results, but it stands to reason that Obamacare will neither be as wonderful as its proponents expect, or as disastrous as its detractors expect.

Wrong. It's un-American to tell second class American citizens that they need to get health coverage (whether they want it or not) and if they don't get health coverage then their loving government is going to take it out of their ass.
I was just trying to eliminate the ambiguity. Prior to that post, you didn't clearly say that Medicaid and free clinics are as bad as the medical care in 3rd world countries. Do you have any evidence to back that up?
Are you saying that some people are too poor to buy insurance but too wealthy to qualify for Medicaid?
I was referring to the administration's refusal to delay other portions of Obamacare. The only part that's getting delayed is the mandate for small businesses.
Comrade, it's un-American to help people who refuse to help themselves, period.
Where in the Constitution does it say that having second class citizens in Un-American?
Uh-uh. The deception is found in your asinine support of an even more asinine approach to healthcare.
You mean "If you will just get the freaking insurance, then the government will call off the dogs".
In other words, "Let us take care of you, or we'll have no choice but to force our care on you".
Please stop shilling for the Democrats, will you?
Dude, it's not your place, or anyone else's, to tell Americans they must buy health insurance or be penalized. THAT, in and of itself, IS un-American.
You shouldn't. They should be allowed to negotiate with the healthcare providers. If they get tired of doing that, THEN they can pursue insurance if they wish.
Dude, I said you shouldn't have to pay. You're chasing ghosts.
