When I started this series, I wanted to systematically dismantle a myth that I’ve seen thrown in the faces of conservatives over and over. Specifically, I was inspired by a segment I caught on MSNBC, in which a panel of pundits were discussing the backlash to the Supreme Court’s ObamaCare ruling. The panel’s token conservative explained why conservatives aren’t just surrendering on ObamaCare. He highlighted a few of the policy issues with the health care reform law, pointed out its enormous cost and expansion of federal power, and began to explain why conservatives still think the law is unconstitutional.
It was at about this point that someone else on the panel cut him off with a smirking, “Please. The Affordable Care Act is a conservative law. You conservatives are just playing political games because you don’t like President Obama.” That’s not an exact quote, but that’s the gist of what he said. This is a myth that I’ve seen pop up repeatedly in debates between conservatives and leftists.

Excellent. I already use much of it but the article includes lots of new ammo! Thanks for posting.
Happy to help!
Did you know that? Did you know that Roberts ruled that it ONLY applies to corporations? He did.
” - - - Obamacare myth is that is applies to the people. It does not.”
If your assertion is true, then what happens “to the people” if they do not obey the Dictates of Mighty Obama”care?”
