Yeah, except for the fact that it includes abortion. Apparently you forgot that the Stupak amendment failed.

Any party that treats Abortion like a sacrament and supports gay marriage is going to get demolished by White Catholics.

Like myself.

Nothing indirect about the abortion funding for Obamacare. It's why the Stupak Amendment to removed abortion funding failed. Abortion is considered a core part of the program.

It's also why no Catholic in good standing can support Obamacare.

Ah. So killing the poor is more merciful than letting them live. Life comes first. You can't help the poor if they are dead.

I'm not sure how the Obama administration suing the little sisters of the poor is helping the poor.

The problem is the fine. People can choose not to pay car insurance by not owning a car. Assessing a fine for failure to pay for health insurance is especially galling given that the coverage is required to include abortion funding.

This is why the solution is an opt-out clause so that those who do not want Obamacare do not have to purchase it. If Obamacare is truly valued as an insurance vehicle,  it will obtain sufficient buy-in. If it does not, then it deserves to crash and burn. It really is just that simple.

I don't have issues with government health care insurance. Making it a mandate is a whole different ball of wax. Stupak amendment would have kept the whole superstructure of the great behemoth while stripping out just abortion funding. A clever bet would have been to pass it and much of the issue would have been mitigated.

As it is, the blowback has been enormous.
