No more free riding, if you will, where an individual says, I'm not going to pay even though I can afford it. I'm not going to get insurance even though I can afford it.
But the important thing to note is that Governor Romney says, like it or not, the Supreme Court has ruled, it's the law of the land, it is a tax.
The Supreme Court is the final word, right? Isn't that the highest court in the land? And they said it was a tax, didn't they? So it's a tax, of course, if that's what they say it is.
He wants to institute free market policies on health care. He wants to take the government out between the patient and their doctors, and he wants to make sure that people have more freedom and choice in their health care and that's what…
Yes, look, even in CNN's latest poll, a majority of Americans, over 50 percent, at 51 in CNN's poll -- and the average is about a 10 percent gap -- want the individual mandate repealed, want Obamacare in its entirety repealed.
Actually the chief justice in his opinion made it very clear that at the state level, states have the power to put in place mandates.
But in the court of public opinion, that will be decided in November as to overturning this law.
What Governor Romney wants to do is he wants to completely do away with this. He wants to institute free market policies on health care.
Yes, look, even in the CNN's latest poll, a majority of Americans, over 50 percent, at 51 percent in CNN's poll, want the individual mandate repealed.
What the court did not do on its last day in session, I will do on my first day if elected president of the United States, and that is, I will act to repeal Obamacare.
As you might imagine, I disagree with the Supreme Court's decision. And I agree with the dissent. What the court did not do on its last day in session I will do on my first day if elected president of the United States. And that is, I will…
Well, as you know, he was president for the last 3 1/2 years, did nothing on immigration.
As candidate Obama, he promised to present an immigration plan during his first year in office but four years later, we are still waiting.
I believe that each state has the duty and the right to secure our borders and preserve the rule of law, particularly when the federal government has failed to meet its responsibilities.
That is pandering. Not only did he not propose a plan, he hasn't led on it. He hasn't spoken about it. We haven't seen anything from him, other than more deportations.
As president, I won't settle for stopgap measures. I will work with Republicans and Democrats to build a long-term solution.
As president, I won't settle for stop-gap measures. I'll work with Republicans and Democrats to build a long-term solution.
Either a guy who whispers sweet nothings into our ear. Makes big promises every four years. And then doesn't deliver anything but higher deportation, or a guy that does not make big promises.
Well, as you know, he was president for the last three- and-a-half years, did nothing on immigration.
