Obamacare is out of the conservative play book? How is that?
(yes. I know I will be sorry I asked).
It was both, originally proposed by republicans, and the only other time it was used was by republican governor Romney.
Fundamentally it absolutely conservative. The conservative dogma is personal responsibility. Obamacare forces everyone to pay into healthcare. Whereas, all previous solutions only asked the wealthy to pay in (i.e obtained free from employers). In fact so ridiculous was health insurance and hospital pricing, that it was not even available to the general public. Which goes against capitalism (the other pillar of conservatism)
I am a dyed in wool (as opposed to koolaid) lifelong conservative, and you heard it from me, history will look back on Obama as the conservative. Not unlike Theodore being the true champion of democrats.
