It’s amazing Obama doesn’t run on Obamacare, isn’t it?

[ScreamingEagle]

Why should Obama run on what really needs to be called Romneycare?

Romneycare in a very liberal state was a complete flop....

at least Romney learned from it.......Obama didn't......

Obama is simply an ideologue pushing his marxist agenda....it's outraegous that a President would slam through a demonstrably failed program when most of the country isn't even on board....

...that's why he's not campaigning on it.....

If he is not running on Obamacare, why is it featured so prominently on his website?

Issues - Health Care — Barack Obama

Why is there no mention of Romneycare on Mitts website?

Why is it on Obama's website.

Because Obama can't hide from it!

Why is there no mention on "RomneyCare" on Mitt's site--he is trying to hide from the bad legislation passed while he was governor.

I am not a conservative and I don't like it. But I wonder if it will get repealed under Romney.....

 

[rightwinger]

The Affordable Care Act is so beloved that they named it after our President

For generations to come, they will recognize it as Obamacare

 

[Truthmatters]

and guess who labeled it that way?

Romney will also cut Medicare, but for a tax cut for millionnaires- it's Medicare SAVINGS actually- hospitals agreed to it because they're going to have everyone INSURED...and TEDDYCARE has PROVED it works great, and Pub horrors are imaginary. All the waivers are temporary, misinformed dolts.

“The crown jewel of Obamacare’s effort to contain health costs, that is the creation of Accountable Care Organizations - did you know about this? I sure as hell didn’t- is so unwieldy that major provider groups have said they won't participate.

“The idea is to consolidate doctors, turning them into employees of large systems, and then pay these system lump sums of money to take care of groups of patients.

“Wow. Did you know that? Consolidate doctors, turning them into employees of large systems, and then pay these systems lump sums of money to take care of groups of patients. The iron fist of government.

Wow, sounds pretty scary. Thank goodness you'd never see anything like that in a GOP proposal, certainly nothing that would come from rightwing "intellectuals" like current VP candidate Paul Ryan.

Wait...
