First off... you do know that Obamacare and Romneycare are pretty different right? About 2,000 pages worth of different.
Though outside that... that it could work nationally. No where in his arguement... you know, if you read it, says it couldn't.
It says it shouldn't.
As for the second point... I don't really see your point.
GDP and Medals line up pretty good... this year. Great, one... as of yet uncompleted data point.
Though yeah, you do need to be a pretty rich country to do well in the olympics. Modern sports require all kinds of expensive ass treatments. Your normal oympic athelte in the US is going to an olympic training center, has a nutritonist, personal trainer...
these people get all the money in the world thrown at them.
For the heck of it, i'm going to spend about 2 minutes doing what you should have done before posting that.
