Obama-care is unpopular now but the democrat theory is that Republicans will not be unified in how to attack or repeal it in 2012 when more of the benefits kick in.

What benefits? Obamacare is far more than unpopular. It is unconstitutional since Article 1 Section 8 does not specifically list regulating health care as an enumerated power! The people are not bound to comply with an unconstitutional act! This is the fundamental point people need to understand when dealing with these flaming socialists/marxists!

RE :”What benefits?

You do know it's a redistribution bill, right?

I am skeptical of the courts overturning even the mandates in the Obama-care bill. (And the mandates they passed were very lame, will put insurance companies out of business when they are ignored because of the other mandates on companies.) Both the 1960s civil rights act and medicaid were passed with a bogus interpretation of US constitution interstate commerce clause that would apply to this too, and now the country is dependent on those precidents. Look how Rand Paul got crusified for even answering a direct question on Civil Rights Act.

For political reasons the mandate is called a fine, not a middle class tax increase. For legal reasons it is called a tax, because congress has the power to tax you as they give you a tax credit for buying a car.

I don't see how we get out of this.
