So does that mean he is going to increase taxes on the poor to give them healthcare as well?

Anybody with a brain the size of a plant could come up with a better healthcare plan to save the American people money without increasing taxes.  That's how bad Obamacare truly is and it will only get worse.

I don't know a lot about the obamacare situation but wasn't it changed a bunch from what obama orginally wanted? If that's the case kind of hard to chastise the guy for coming up with a subpar plan when it was never really his plan to begin with.

Obama wanted single payer like Bernie is proposing now, but he made many many concessions and in the end it pretty much ended up as the plan Mitt Romney himself installed in Massachusetts in 2006 (2 years before Obama election) !
