Everybody will eventually get sick and die, so let's figure out a way to force them to buy insurance from our corporate cronies while they are healthy, so even if they want to get sick and die, we can get as much money out of them while they were alive and well.
IF you really want to avoid forced health insurance Cissy... why not move to a red state. Many of them would rather their uninured were to die than join ObamaCare

Nearly half the nation's states are opting not to expand Medicaid to all of their low-income residents, leaving billions of federal dollars on the table and millions of poor Americans uninsured.

Yes , I would support anybody that dissolves any federal department. You let me know when Barry starts putting the shutters up on the Department of HHS. I would even support a Democrat that does it. Look me up when it happens, I'll take you out for a beer, on me!LOL
DHS, TSA, DOD, and our favorite the VA.
Anyone willing to start downsizing the government would get my support.
Especially the agencies that push the constitution aside.

That would be every regulatory agency. They are the 4th branch of government that are never held accountable. They are unelected beauracrats that write regulation(laws)

Regulations and Laws are two different things. Only Congress can make laws (and congress can turn back regulation with laws). Roe V Wade is a good example of a Constitutional Right being overthrown by "regulations & laws".

5 Key Findings From Harvard's New Research On Millennials Benjamin Cosman's avatar image By Benjamin Cosman December 5, 2013 30 COMMENTS | 2179 VIEWS | 152 SHARES 10 Harvard’s Institute of Politics has released a fall poll from its Survey of Young Americans’ Attitudes toward Politics and Public Service, and it offers an interesting window into the millennial take on government at this particular moment (or rather the moment of October 31 to November 11, when the survey was conducted).
Though it’s never a good idea to put too much stock in one survey, this particular Harvard poll paints a striking portrait of a disillusioned generation, losing faith and interest in the political system.
Here are the 5 Key takeaways:
1. Millennials want to yank their elected officials out of office
Via: Harvard IOP A majority of people ages 18-29 would replace all members of Congress if they could and a near majority would replace their specific representative.
The millennial view on replacing President Barack Obama is split by ages. In the 18-24 age group, 52% would recall and replace the president, but only 40% would among 25-29 year-olds. Nearly a fifth of millennials that voted for Obama in 2012 would not vote for him if the election were held again. Good thing Obama doesn't have to run for re-election.
2. Millennial approval of Obama is the lowest it has ever been
Via: Harvard IOP Harvard found that only 41% of millennials approve of Obama's job performance, while 54% disapprove. That's the lowest approval rating the IOP has found since the beginning of Obama's presidency and over a 10% drop since this spring.
But Congress shouldn't get too excited. If anything, they're doing much worse than the president. 35% of millennials approve of Democrats in Congress, and just 19% approve of Republicans.
No wonder young people want everyone out of office. They don't think anyone is doing a good job.
3. The youngest voters are leaving the Democratic Party
Via: Harvard IOP More millennials still identify as Democrat than Republic, but the trends are working against Obama's party. Though Democratic identification among ages 25-29 has remained stable since last year, and has even increased since the first year of Obama's presidency, those identifying as Democrat among ages 18-24 is down 5% since last year, and 12% since 2009.
4. Millennials aren't lining up to vote next year
Via: Harvard IOP Just over a third of millennials say they will definitely vote in the 2014 midterm elections. Though midterm voter participation rates are never high, this is down from four years ago, particularly among Black millennials (down 12%).
Millennials are dissatisfied with their government, but they're lacking the motivation or interest to do anything about it. Even if a majority would recall Congress if they could, millennials don't seem amped up to actually do it.
5. The group Obamacare needs most isn't buying in
Via: Harvard IOP The Harvard IOP survey shows Obamacare is in dire trouble with millennials. Not only does a majority disapprove of the health care reform, but a majority also believes it'll cause their health care costs to increase, and a plurality thinks the quality of care they receive will decrease.
For a law that hinges on millennial participation, it's clear Obama needs to do a better job appealing to his target audience. As it stands now, less than one third of millennials plan to enroll in coverage.
When you're bleak, you're bleak. And this is bleak.

Sen. Lindsey Graham became the latest U.S. lawmaker to enroll in a federal health insurance exchange but forego the federal subsidy he would normally receive for his premium. Graham announced Monday he would enroll in his home state's exchange, which is being run by the federal government, even though he opposes the Affordable Care Act. The congressional open enrollment period ends Monday.
