From Deepak Chopra. Romney is using a simplistic but powerful line: This President is a nice guy who is in over his head. What makes this tactic effective is that the right has seized the narrative and made a convincing case built on false claims. Obamacare has been a disaster. In reality, the only provisions that have kicked in, such as forbidding exclusion from health insurance for people with pre-existing conditions, are enormously popular. The real problem with the health care act is that the Republicans twisted it into an unworkable scheme that didn't cut costs, and thus engineered the very legislation that they now decry. Sneaky politics and unfair to the country, but so far a large sector of the public is buying the story. (deepakchopra.com, May 13, 2012) Glad to see someone stand up for the Healthcare bill. One of the great additions was being able to keep your child on your health plan until age 26 without them having to be a full time student. I have not been able to understand why anyone is against someone having health coverage. Even with copay, deductibles, and premiums, health insurance is not cheap.
