Obama is telling the insurance companies, as a dictator would, what they can and can't do or what they must or must not do.

The American people don't want Obamacare. It has been forced on the American people, despite the fact that Democrats no longer control the House.

As a physician and a U.S. senator, I have warned since the very beginning about many troubling aspects of Mr. Obama's unprecedented health-insurance mandate. Not only does he believe he can order you to buy insurance, the president also incorrectly equates health insurance coverage with medical care.

If Obamacare is so wonderful, why is it that its loudest advocates don't want to be subject to it?

Obamacare is bureaucrats getting between you and your doctor, and that's what Americans most dislike about this legislation.

I told the president 'no' to special treatment for Congress when he tried to exempt them from Obamacare.

I call this 'boss Obamacare.' The only health care that citizens of this country can access are those approved by the boss.

Prior to passage of Obamacare, Americans spoke out against the individual mandate; they didn't want to change the health care they had; they didn't want a 3,000-page bill that empowered 15 Washington bureaucrats to decide the future of the doctor-patient relationship.

In the aftermath of President Obama's re-election, members of both the administration and the media trumpeted that Obama had received his long-sought mandate. Obamacare, Americans were told, was the law of the land. It could not be changed; it could not be stopped.

Obamacare is the wildly complex Rube Goldberg contraption it is because getting the legislation through Congress required so many political tradeoffs and so many unavoidable deals with so many vested interests. But that's no excuse.
