Here they complain that businesses won't be able to cover their employees health care, which they should have (IIRC if the company didn't they would have to buy their own health care)

Oh, and tax hikes cause job losses.

Here they complain that seniors won't be able to see as many doctors since not all doctors accept medicare.

Here they say that less government spending hurts people...   ???

I agree that Obamacare isn't real reform, but he also says that much more people will be on Medicaid.

Waaah! The government is helping other people! That way we can't help them!

Here's their article

I'd be more sympathetic if people here didn't act like they knew what they were saying when they were saying something very much wrong.

I never understood the "won't accept medicare" thing. I mean if we had real public health care there'd be no need for medicare as it would be paid for by the government through taxes.

And yeah, it'll damage companies financially...like they aren't already trying to get rid of insurance already because it cuts into their profits too much

So where were the Heritage Foundation circa 1996, when it was a Republican plan?? I'm willing to bet they were cheerleading for it.
