“Independent of the constitutional issues, the health care law is utterly unaffordable—costing $2.6 trillion over the first full ten-year window,” Sessions said in a statement on the Obamacare ruling. “This massive new entitlement program adds $17 trillion in unfunded long-term obligations—more than twice the unfunded obligations of Social Security.”

I can't believe most Democrats don't know that they HAVE TO PAY for OBAMACARE. It's NOT FREE.

One in the same, Obama even calls the ACA Obamacare.
There are TWO candidates who constructed, and got the same Healthcare planned passed,
Paul Ryan is running with one of them.

Unfortunately Ryan and Romney think a better use of money would be using it to start
a hot war in Iran and Syria.
Not to mention that Ryan's plan would be a massive give away to the insurance companies
and it would increase private cost on top of it.
On the other hand, to anyone paying the slightest bit of attention to facts, Ryan’s speech was an apparent attempt to set the world record for the greatest number of blatant lies and misrepresentations slipped into a single political speech. On this measure, while it was Romney who ran the Olympics, Ryan earned the gold.
His most brazen lie accused President Obama of “raiding” Medicare by taking the exact same $716 billion that Ryan and the House GOP notoriously voted to slash. It was stunning.
But that’s not all. He attacked Obama for failing to keep open a Janesville GM plant that closed under Bush in 2008. He hit him for a credit-rating downgrade that S&P essentially blamed on GOP intransigence. He claimed that all taxpayers got from the 2009 stimulus was “more debt,” when most got a tax cut (and the stimulus is known to have saved between 1.4 and 3.3 million jobs). He derided the president for walking away from the Simpson Bowles commission deficit-cutting recommendations when Ryan himself, a commission member, voted against those recommendations.
He blamed Obama for a deficit mostly created by programs he himself voted for – from two wars, tax cuts, new Medicare benefits and TARP.
It's becoming more obvious that Republican Party vice president nominee U.S. Rep Paul Ryan is having a very hard time telling the truth on political matters. Fact checkers have torn apart his speech at the Republican National Convention for being riddled with lies and half-truths. But apparently Ryan has been lying about something else as well: his marathon time.

Obama's plan will be an extra $5000 per family in taxes. What is the difference?
What a one sided video which has been posted many times I might add so it hardly needs yet another thread on it. You notice it cuts the response off I guess the average attention span of the Obama haters is only around six minutes.
At least Obamacare it's going to cost the people anywhere near as much privatizing medicare like Ryan wants to do. Good luck in finding a insurance company that will accept those preexisting conditions.

Republicans like to overlook that fact that Ryan's plan would cost on average 6000 bucks more than what people on Medicare pay now. What not everyone inherited a fortune from grandpa like Ryan?

Meh... insurance is too expensive. The good news is that now we can all just skip it and pay the fine. It's great to know that should you come down with something you can always just go and buy a policy and the doctor's will have to treat you. That will be sustainable, right?...

It’s funny that this argument has any traction because the fundamental difference is purposely overlooked….
Yes, Romneycare was the model for Obamacare. The HUGE ELEPHANT in the room is that Romney did it at the STATE level. Obamacare is the intrusion of the federal government into our lives. States have different authority and power than the federal governemnt. Have you heard of the 10th amendment?
198 of 200 state representatives voted in favor of Romneycare.
