I pretty much agree with Colleen. He's not quite a Communist, but I personally think he admires them. His goal is for the US to follow the path of Socialists in Europe. The results of that are seen in countries like France, Spain and Greece. Keep up with the news to find out what's happening to them. It's a glimpse of our not too distant future.

 Obama's power in nearly unchecked since he's been re-elected and can't run again. Plus he has established the habit of bypassing Congress (exercising executive privilege) if they don't give him what he wants. We are about to see a lot of changes in this country.

NOBODY understands or knows everything about Obamacare, not even the people who wrote the 2000 some pages that comprise this law. Remember Nancy Pelosi saying, "We have to pass the bill to know what's in it"? O.K., it passed (barelyand and with much arm twisting)., but there is still a lot we will find out later. There are fees, penalties, taxes, caps and requirements that we will only know when somebody decides to enforce them. Everyone must have insurance by 2014 or pay a fine, but we don't know yet what kind of insurance we will be offered. Or how much it will cost! A number of states are refusing to go along with Obamacare as planned. The supreme court specifically granted them permission to do that.

States are doing that because they know that most federal funds, no matter how helpful they sound, after the first year or two, become almost impossibly expensive for state budgets. The government gives nothing without strings attached..lots of them. Many states are nearly bankrupt already. Insurance will still be offered to residents of states that refuse to participate, however, and the federal government will bear the cost. Not to worry. No one will have to go without health insurance. The quality of health care, however, will most assuredly decline for everyone.
