A SLEW of GOP senators proposed the individual mandate in 1993

[Bugsy McGurk]

"People must take responsibility for themselves!", they said.

And through the years since, countless Republicans have continued to advocate the individual mandate, ranging from Mitt Romney to Newt Gingrich to Chuck Grassley, and everyone in between.

BUT....then Obama and the Dems made it part of the ACA.

Time for a GOP 180! The individual mandate is no longer a good idea! What's more, it will destroy the nation as we know it. An outrageous intrusion upon our liberties!

Just in case ANYONE still doubted that Republicans are nothing but a collection of cultist hacks who care about NOTHING except holding power.

Don't forget The Heritage Foundation.. they were the ones who proposed it in the first place!

They all want the mandate.....All of them. It has much less to do with health care than it does with the revenue stream that will flow into their hands. The GOP Senators are full of shit up to their ears....there isn't one of them up there on either side of the aisle that doesn't realize full well just how much money Obamacare will put into the public coffers and into their hands.

Yep. Do they also now contend that it is a commie plot launched by Obama to bring the nation to its knees?

Employer based Health Care is a government product from the 1940's and is clearly outdated.... Obama was stupid and went with socialism to pander to the dregs instead of properly introducing Medicare For All and inplementing it paid for by a national sales tax that everyone who purchases a retail product would pay.

Public hands? The GOP wackjobs fought off a public option (aided by Judas Lieberman). The indvidual mandate will result in many more policies for private insurers.

Hard to believe that all those GOP senators and the Heritage Foundation provided an idea leading to our socialist future.

Don't forget Max Baucus. He stalled as long as he could and succeeded in stopping the Single Payer.

This very simple and straightforward editorial from my morning paper, explains what the GOP knew full well, until they became desperate for an Obama-hate angle. The healthcare market is unique. Silly diversions and comparisons with the markets for ANY other product, are useless to us.

Another Red state knucklehead in the pockets of big business.

To hear these shrieking Republicans ...America will crumble if the "mandate" is approved....Sad to see so many uniformed stupid people in America

It's nice to se a media outlet focusing on how the law minimizes the leeching of health care servcies we now have. Most media outlets limit their role to repeating the GOP lies du jour.

Essentially, they're shouting that Americans should have the FREEDOM! to take healthcare without paying for it. They're so deafened by their own "ODS", that they can't even hear themSELVES.

Yep, funny how JackCons won't 'splain this one to us. And they listen to their fools squawking about FREEDUMB!! when it was those same fools who's idea this was in the first place.

Ah well, i guess they are all about protecting freeloaders now.. until Obama wants to protect them of course.

It's gotta be confusing being a Con these days. They must have to check in hourly for talking points and the position du jour.
