Trouble is we can’t forget the law is primarily about subsidies and handouts for the “takers.” We don’t talk about that because talking about the mandate and tax sounds more onerous. But once this is implemented, there will be a lot of takers who will be getting free health care, probably many more people that understand they will be now. So once it’s implemented, the election will be another showdown between takers and makers, and we makers don’t have a good track record of winning those.

I don't think many of the takers will be happy with Obamacare. First, the premiums will be more than most expect, even with a subsidy. But after that, the coverage is pretty expensive. A $500 deductible for name-brand prescriptions. $45 or $50 copay to see a doctor (can't remember which) and a $45 or $50 copay for generic medicines.

Very of the sheeple will think this is the free medical care they voted for.

Take heart, the takers don’t vote near as heavily in the mid-terms. This is why we smoked them in 2010, and why we are setting up to smoke them again.
