Back to argument

The American people don't want it remember the vote in 2010.

Retired Military healthcare costs are going up over the next 5 years 345%

Military kids are NOT allowed to remain on their parents insurance.

Guess you people haven't been following what's been going on with the UK system. They are going toward the PRIVATE system.

There is only one argument against ACA and that is the "Single Payer" proposed plan due to it being the best choice for the people of the United States.

All other arguments against ACA make no sense what so ever. It is good for the country in so many ways. I find it so un-American that so many of our fellow Americans are so heartless regarding this matter, especially the religious right. Repealing healthcare doesn't even comply with their religious good will beliefs.

Ask yourself would you be willing to pay an extra $10 to $20 a paycheck to help your fellow American? Your answer indicates how much you really care about yourself and your fellow Americans..

Alex of IL:

I believe it took all of 30 seconds to remit verifiable sources of the correct way to the healthcare problem.

"On his first day in office, Mitt Romney will issue an executive order that paves the way for the federal government to issue Obamacare waivers to all fifty states. He will then work with Congress to repeal the full legislation as quickly as possible".

"In place of Obamacare, Mitt will pursue policies that give each state the power to craft a health care reform plan that is best for its own citizens. The federal government’s role will be to help markets work by creating a level playing field for competition".

***************************************

The federal government does not need to support a "national healthcare system", especially when most states already have standard healthcare systems in place. Even Obama tells states they can submit their own health care plans!

Consider yourself a little more educated!

@Jard Did you not read Romney's article that this article responded to? It's full of the same rhetorical language with statistics and without verifiable resources

Alex of IL 3:30PM July 10, 2012

A socialist prefers rhetoric to facts. Ms Calsyn, where are the verifiable sources for the figures that you quote?
