May I ask this question in a serious forum...I am a Canadian (get your jokes out now) and have been watching the presidential election/debate so far and need to understand what the American people think is going on. Mitt Romney is not a bad guy and he has clearly done well both as a governor and business man...however, I think he is trying to put the American people into a perspective that Obama is trying to create that 1970's feeling of "The Man" trying to take corporate America and telling you what you can and can't do...that is a socialist/communistic (?) viewpoint and by him thinking he can make the American people believe this thought, that is why he will win the race. He is more focused on keeping the individual states a free body within a conglomerate of other states while working together to unify the country as opposed to working as one country with a subset of states governing certain regions. This idea is the "corporate structure" that many business' use as the model for their organization and is why he is so fond of this theory. Now onto Obamacare...I understand many of you feel as if you're being "robbed" or "forced" into paying more in order to benefit the little guy who can't fend for himself but that is what a government does. As a member of a healthcare system that is extremely similar to that of Obamacare, yes there are long wait times/yes, we do have a higher tax rate (lower for corporations, which is what obama is trying to change)/and yes the poor, sick, less fortunate all do benefit because of everyone else's success...however, I will always have healthcare (no matter what) and can decrease my insurance costs by getting a plan (all individually) that will perform the basic needs I have and subsidize my costs of medication as most other basic necessities are COVERED.

I know that any surgeries, doctors visits and medical benefits are not constantly at a cost to me...and the surgeries/procedures I may need are not limited by the government telling me I can not have them, but by trained professionals telling me this is what is recommended and this is what's covered. Most of the time cancer treatments, diabetes,flu vaccines etc. are all covered by universal healthcare and those additional treatments that aren't covered you will pay for, not strange since you seem to be paying for everything as it is...but the difference is universal Obamacare allows you to not have to pay for things you will already have as a citizen of the US. As with any system put in place, there are loopholes...people will want to specialize in order to make more money (which benefits the consumer in terms of the experience the doctor has in dealing with a situation) but also allows those with money to not be "held" from pursuing other medical options and receiving a better standard of care than is given by the government. So no, Obamacare is not trying to tell you what to do, Obama is not trying to be "The Man" he is trying to unify your country after W. decided to make it a joke...he is trying to put in a place a system where everyone receives benefits of the country and in turn allows growth, but is not saying those who have had success should be limited to the governments standards...and he has done this all with explaining himself and the details. That is where my "vote" lies, as Mitt Romney (although a good businessman/leader and a powerful presence) has not detailed HOW he plans on allowing you as Americans to benefit through cutting spending...you will in fact lose benefits and incurr more debt as the math behind it, clearing lets say at the high point 150-250 billion dollars in "loopholes/standards" that are not necessary will in no way give you the financial stability to make Americans more secure. I do understand his approach on increasing jobs as it is the main idea behind a business....competition! He is trying to make America a competitive "industry/firm" where people will generate more money through business' lowering rates, allowing consumers to spend more and "increase profits for business". This will then allow business' to higher more workers and decrease the unemployment rate to below 8%. However, he does not mention how in order for business' to decrease price that means labour and manufacturing costs will have to decrease so that margins (in order to make profit, you are all educated so you all understand) may increase. How is this done you ask...well that is either OUTSOURCING PRODUCTION AND LABOUR which in turn will decrease the amount of jobs in America as the costs for employment are too great, OR by making business' have lower profit margins but by lowering prices "should increase spending by consmers" which "may" lead to gains in the future...see how this does not work...you either cut taxes for consumers to increase spending, cut taxes for business to increase profit margin, outsource labour and manufacturing thus decreasing local job growth, or use Obama's system by cutting tax for consumers but increasing tax for corporations (who have the most money) and reducing bursaries and federal grants to them (which many of them are not hurting for) in order for the consumer to spend more, generate more revenue for business'/corporations which will give them the ability to higher more workers...its the difference between a top down approach aka Hiearchical system outdated in the new "growth" of the business sector (Romney) or a bottom up approach where you create a foundation to work from which allows you to then generate more revenue for business', creating more cash for them to initiate more job growth (Obama)...both methods may work in the short term and in fact one might work better than the other but it is about the future of the country not the next four years. You need to put a system in place that will help the country grow not diminsh its value like the "diminishing returns" theory in basic economics, where marginal gains are only so great to a certain point until the process eventually starts depleting the overall benefits and makes it become a cost. This is my analysis of your current situation, so how is it many of you are still at a loss in understanding what is actually happening?
