Isn't it supposed to be the "affordable healthcare act"?
Sheesh, if this is affordable in his opinion I'd hate to see what isn't!

Clearly his quite logical point sailed right over your ignorant head.
Something as important as healthcare certainly does become affordable when you prioritise, and stop buying alcohol every day, stop buying a new iphone every year, stop buying cigarettes, stop buying xboxes, stop buying junk food, etc....
Did you really need it spelled out for you?
I see... so we should willingly sacrifice our quality of life for his spectacularly stupid idea.
Nope.... This is NOT how to get people to buy your BS. I'm far from sold.

You don't need cigarettes, and alcohol that kind of defeats the purpose of healthcare anyway.
You only need to buy an Xbox once...

I agree with Obamski on this. Health should be more of a priority than Cable-TV.

It shouldn't have to be a choice.
I remember riding down the road with my (then) husband and I suddenly got hungry for a candy bar. I ate a candy bar once or twice a year, if that.. and he said to me 'Do you want a candy bar, or do you want a house." After a little thought I said, eff the house, I want a candy bar. Seriously, if a person has to give up something so small is there really even a choice--it was obvious to me that if my having a candy bar once a year was going to stand between us getting a house, then something was wrong with the budget, and the house was not affordable.
Some people have no other entertainment than their cable tv, and others don't leave their homes that often for other reasons, such as medical, finances, etc.. So, Obama thinking that anyone should be put into a position to decide between their health insurance and their cable is grossly hypocritical, and not to mention out of touch with the real world in which most citizens live.
We should be working to live, not living to work.

There are violations of principle that transcend **ANY** cause it could be done for.
