Obama in ’08: If Govt Mandated H’care Govt Could Mandate Buying A House (video)

Barack Obama on the Ellen DeGenerous Show in 2008:

If mandating that everyone could buy healthcare would solve the healthcare problem, than government could just mandate that everyone should buy a house to solve homelessness. It isn’t that people don’t want healthcare, they can’t afford it.

    You do know that the very first congress passed multiple laws forcing ‘inactive’ non-consumers to buy guns, and medical insurance? Very simple and indisputable fact. I will be politely sitting here while you acknowledge your entire worldview is based on cherrypicking anecdotes and ignoring how every developed nation on Earth protects it’s least fortunate better than the US does. Your apology is awaited and accepted.

    Are you kidding? These bogus talking points were nuked long ago.

    I tell you what, lets see if you have the guts to explain the details of what you said above honestly. By all means I invite you to do so, but don’t be foolish and try to spin it because I know the answer better than you do. – Editor
