Obamacare Gives Workers Freedom Conservatives Demanded!!

A few quotes from Greedy Obstructionist Party:

“A lot of people change their jobs. So the tax benefit should change and go with them, and not be attached to their jobs. We want to address job lock. So, the key question that ought to be addressed in any health care reform legislation, is are we going to continue job lock, or are we going to allow individuals more choice, and portability to fit the 21st century workforce?” (Paul Ryan 5/20/09)

“Of course there are a number of things that I like in health care reform that I’m going to put in place…. I also want individuals to be able to buy insurance, health insurance, on their own as opposed to only being able to get it on a tax advantage basis through their company.” (Mitt Romney 9/9/12)

“[T]he employer-based system leads to ‘job lock,’ whereby people are afraid to leave their jobs if they fall ill on the job, because switching plans could mean higher premiums or denial of coverage.” (Avik Roy, former health care adviser to Mitt Romney 2/7/12)
