'Obamacare'

What's your opinion of 'Obamacare?' Mitt Romney's campaign commercial said that one of the ways he'd bounce back the economy was to repeal it. Do you think that it should be done away with?

In all honesty, I don't know enough about it.

On the surface, I don't see a problem with healthcare for every American. With Obamacare, you're forced to get health insurance if you don't have it, or pay a fine. THAT part I don't agree with. Hilarys health plan was better.

I generally don't have one. I'm in the military, so I already have access to free healthcare. Therefore, I tend not to have examined the specifics behind "Obamacare".

Again, I don't have enough information about it to be able to make that kind of judgement.

I do not believe there is an option or "fix" possible that would be unaffordable. And that is because the problem was a good 25 years or so getting assessed. Hell, I remember my employer in the 80's going into panic over the spiraling cost of healthcare, and the health plans got trimmed!
