Specious argument, the point was that 99% of the cars on the road have insurance it is a state MANDATE, even Stuart Butler makes the auto insurance analogy.
And what about the amount of americans that do not drive? Do they have car insurance? Answer: No. Why? Because you do not HAVE to drive. You can ride a bike, you can take a taxi, you can ride a train, you can ride a subway, you can even walk. Fact is millions of americans do not HAVE to drive and therefore do not HAVE to have car insurance. That is far different from having to have health insurance for simply living. And I don't care who Stuart Butler is, he's an idiot for making the analogy.
The GOP will not accept it NOW because a black man who is a Democrat finally got a major health insurance reform in place on a national scale that Heritage/Gingrich/Romney advocated and implimented on a state scale. Of course they reject it NOW......even though it was defended by them as late as the 2008 GOP primaries.
Oh look, the race card. Why am I not surprised? Seems those that support Obama just can't help but use it against anyone that disagrees with any Obama policy. Take that crap and stow it.
