"The tradition of all dead generations weighs like a nightmare on the brains of the living. And just as they seem to be occupied with revolutionizing themselves and things, creating something that did not exist before, precisely in such epochs of revolutionary crisis they anxiously conjure up the spirits of the past to their service, borrowing from them names, battle slogans, and costumes in order to present this new scene in world history in time-honored disguise and borrowed language."
Why do people hate Obamacare? I don't see how it hurts anybody.
Because it's a shitty system that is unconstitutional and immoral.

"However," replied the universe,

A sense of obligation."

I'm not convinced it's unconstitutional, and less convinced still that it's immoral, but shitty system seems like a pretty apt two-word description for it.
To be honest I find the term "Obamacare" misleading and stupid as it is not by any stretch Obama's bill alone, nor does it provide care in any sense of the word.
Glory is fleeting, but obscurity is forever.--Napoleon Bonaparte
There is a simple argument for it being unconstitutional. The law mandates the purchase of health insurance from private sources. The law is based on the commerce clause which allows the government to regulate commerce. No current interpretation of commerce regulation allows the government to force a person to engage in commerce; only to regulate the commerce one does engage in.I'm not convinced it's unconstitutional

I agree completely. The people in the US deserve a health system that is government-funded, single-payer and comprehensive, not one designed to serve, not patients, but greed-obsessed insurance companies, medical corporations, drug companies, and health professionals who push pills and procedures to the detriment of patients.Quote by: Angry Citizen

you are joking right? Immoral???
Highly immoral. What gives the government the right to force me to do business with some scumbag?

I suppose it could be interpreted in that way. After all, it is just a bailout for the health insurance and pharmaceutical companies.you are joking right? Immoral???
The problem I see with repealing it is the fact that Democrats will not work towards a single payer or even a public option. It will take a landslide LIBERAL victory in 2012 to make that happen.
