It's in their history to do such things.

"Respondents predisposed to believe that a black president will try to benefit blacks more than whites are likely to view the Affordable Care Act through a racial lens, which helps explain the results of a recent Pew survey showing that almost 91 percent of blacks currently approve of the law, compared with 29 percent of whites.

This approval gap overshadows the effect of factors directly relevant to eligibility for assistance. Among those with annual family incomes of less than $50,000, 50 percent currently approve of the law, compared with 38 percent of those with higher incomes (who are less likely to benefit from it).

It’s important to note that many people who don’t approve (about 17 percent, according to a recent Kaiser Foundation poll) feel the Affordable Care Act doesn’t go far enough in reforming the way we pay for health care. Further, the complexity of the legislation makes it difficult for individuals to predict its economic consequences (the Pew survey reported that only 25 percent of poll respondents said they had a very good understanding of how the law would affect them).

Controversy and confusion make it easier for politicians to prey on pre-existing prejudices that serve their own interests better than those of their least influential constituents, as became apparent in the first stage of the civil rights movement.

This movement has yet to reach its final stage. Access to affordable health insurance should be considered a civil right for everyone."

Tragic.

The democrats have shut down the government before too you know.

And tell me why not give everyone the same one year delay?

If big business, unions and the congress itself all don't have to abide by the mandate why should anyone else?

Hey! No fair throwing facts and logic into Flailho's hate-fueled racialist rant! It's WHITEY'S fault, dammit!

Every state in the Deep South, with the exception of Arkansas, has rejected the expansion.

Maine, thanks to its TEA PARTY winning GOV (he got 37% of the vote) has likewise.

I personally know people who lost their HC coverage thanks to this asshat gov of ours.

He'll be leaving next election..count on that.

He is almost universally loathed here even by most conservatives...including TEA PARTY members.
