I agree he was wrong if he meant a mandate was a bad idea in the context of a single payer type system.

But he was spot-on that a mandate without a strong public option/Medicare-buy-in/sing le payer system is bullshit that should rightfully outrage people.

the malicious mandate punishes working-class people who cannot afford health coverage now. this "reform" wil l force cuts into their food/housing budget to meet the federal requirement. good for the health denier ceo's who will get a piece of that action! whoohoo! great job obama! i'm so thrilled.

oh right...the subsidies. just what i always wanted, to grow up and be a begger for the man...fucking awesome!

*back-door public option; pay annual punitive public fine for not having private insurance, and use emergency room liberally.
