Last night on 60 Minutes President Obama was talking about his healthcare system, and he was already starting the 2012 campaign. Obama said Mitt Romney was running for president, even though Romney has yet to declare he is running. Obama also said that his healthcare system was based off the one Romney put into place while he was governor of Massachusetts. Obama knows the American people hate his new system, and he is trying to put blame on a possible opponent while trying to tie any possible Republican to it. Last week on the Sean Hannity show Romney was able to defend his system. He admitted it was an experiment and that there were some flaws with it, but he also pointed out that it was in his legal right to do so. He pointed out on the other hand that Democrats took the system from one state and applied it to the entire country, when the Constitution never gave them that right. Romney was also surprised that nobody had asked for his opinion, when supposedly it was based off his idea. It looks like Obama is ready to hit the campaign trail again, but for himself this time. I am surprised that he was willing to start so soon with his "shellacking" last week.
I predict that in the next two years the following is going to happen with Obamacare:
The Republicans are going to get it repealed, and when that fails they will work with Democrats to try to fix parts of it.
I also think that at least one state lawsuit against it will reach the Supreme Court, and they will find that the government cannot force people to buy health insurance, and Congress will the vote to repeal the law.
Maybe this is all wishful thinking, but I think there is a good chance the Supreme Court will overturn the law.
