re: #338 lawhawk

We wouldn’t be having this conversation if it were a GOPer who proposed the identical legislation that President Obama did and it was enacted in a similar fashion.

Individual mandate, the provision that the GOP came to call unconstitutional, was originally proposed by conservatives, including the Heritage Foundation, as a way of increasing personal responsibility.

But for who championed the bill, the GOP would have supported these same measures.

That too. Seriously, how ACA has been made out to be this massively leftist legislation is hilarious. The law is more closer to what Bob Dole proposed in the 1990’s than what Ted Kennedy championed for years. There’s a reason why a lot of liberals weren’t happy with it. I mean it is what it is, I’d rather have something than nothing in the end but to act like it’s leftist shows how nuts the Republicans are getting.
