		<description>What happens to people who are working, get very sick, are unable to work,, so they are not paid.  They are then unable to pay for their health insurance and are dropped for non-payment.  Why do we pay twice as much for less coverage?  Nationalized health care is what we deserve.  Private insurance is predatory and we are the prey.</description>

		<description>Romney is SO out of touch with what happens in this country.  I was BORN with a pre-existing condition, one that denies me coverage from ANY private insurance, and would cost me more than 700 dollars a month for the &quot;more affordable&quot; insurance offered by my state. Since I have decided to go back to school for a chance at a better career I have no insurance, nor can I get any, and I have a bad heart. Even if I &quot;just go the emergency room&quot; as Romney suggests if/when I have a complication who is going to pay for open heart surgery required to keep me alive. Maybe I will just let the hospital know that Romney is the responsible party and they can bill him!</description>

		<description>Wow.  Some of the posts here are really scare.

Hey, fellow Americans.  Romney and Ryan are pathological liars.

There is nothing this duo won&#039;t say- and they have no convictions whatsoever - in their quest for the highest office in the land.

Neither is fit to be elected dog catcher.  (Just realized the unintended Seamus reference.)

This is serious everyone!</description>

		<description>One of the biggest problems with ObamaCare is that it&#039;s a job killer.

Due to the increased costs of providing health insurance - people who have health care now will have a higher likelihood of getting reduced benefits from their employer supplied health insurance in the future.

This could include things such as higher deductible insurance in their group health plan.

ObamaCare doesn&#039;t cover your deductible if you get sick.

People who work for a company just below 50 employees or slightly more than 50 employees - may see employers reduce their payrolls and cut staff - because they want to get below the 50 employee threshold to escape the fines that ObamaCare imposes for not providing employer supplied health insurance.

Also, due to the increased premium prices - which have gone up 18% since ObamaCare - there is now less room for new hiring in employer&#039;s budgets.

A survey of over 1,000 business owners and employers - showed that 75% of them said ObamaCare made it less likely that they would hire new people.

The number 1 priority should be to get people back to work - so they can get a good job and afford their own health care.

I don&#039;t think it does the 85 million unemployed or underemployed any good - to have ObamaCare - but no job.</description>

		<description>No, Bob, Romney has absolutely no idea what he really stands for or against. He&#039;s an empty suit who panders to his audience.</description>

		<description>Look, it obviously doesn’t matter WHAT Romney says: the man is a compulsive liar....

if he is a compulsive liar, I&#039;m sure it would matter what he says. You can&#039;t lie without saying something.

Perhaps YOU are compulsively BIASED. No matter what he says, YOU will disbelieve him, even if he tells the truth.</description>
