I'm not for either of them. Both Romney and Obama have their pro's and cons. I for one am hugely against healthcare. They are classifying it as a tax, but the very fact that I am forced to pay for healthcare straight out of college is ridiculous. Why in the world would I need to pay thousands of dollars per year for something that I'm statistically incredibly unlikely to use at that age? I should have the right to turn it down from my employments health care plan as it is not an economically sound option for me. That is the main reason I am against Obama, not to mention the whole drone strike thing he's gotten himself into. But hey, Romney just seems... mentally unstable to me. I don't know, just the way he handles himself just seems odd. That's besides the point, though. Even though the president has basically no grounds in controlling gay marriage since it is determined by the states, I don't like that hes against it. But I do like that he is against health care, that's something that I really, really do not want to be forced to pay for.

The idea behind having mass numbers of people purchase healthcare is so that the price will go down and become affordable for every citizen. The reason healthcare costs are so high are because insurance companies are gambling with each plan. If more people have health insurance there's less of a liability so prices should drop.

That is literally the worst way to form a political opinion. The government should not be the one making life easier, the people should. The main problem with Obama is that his plan is to expand the government, when it should be shrinking since its overstepping its bounds way too much with all these government programs. Health care is designed to give assistance to people that cannot afford it, thats why so many poor people are for it. But the fact is that its more government regulation, more taxes, more food stamps, and more aid. We should not and will not as a country be lowered down to rely on the government to fix our problems, if you can't afford something, go back to school and get a better job. Don't sit around and rely on food stamps to supply things for you. My uncle does that and its sickening. He doesn't want to get a job because the government feeds him.

I don't see why people with less money then you should be denied healthcare because of their position in life? Also, for your information not everyone sits on their ass and waits for food stamps, not everyone has the time to go back to school or the money. While there are some people who do they are not the majority. Revoking access to government funded help won't aid anyone. If we want to reduce spending on food stamps you need to educate the population so that they aren't put in that position in the first place.

No, it's Obama who wants to make things easier for the people who DON'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING AND WANT TO LIVE OFF OF THE TAX DOLLARS OF OTHER HARD WORKING PEOPLE. A lot of people are voting for him because that's them, and they don't want to work.
