  • 9 healthcare questions for Obama, Romney during debate

Here’s a sample from the political healthcare week that was on Twitter. Informative and not, nuanced, banal, absurd, bombastic, liberal, conservative, libertarian and more, this is a small collection of what America is saying about healthcare and its politics.


Barack Obama ‏@BarackObama
President Obama: "I think there is one person to make these decisions on health care, and that is you.” http://OFA.BO/EgwcQG#ACA

The Washington Post ‏@washingtonpost
Romney campaign now wants credit for "Romneycare" health care law it tried to explain away during primaries: wapo.st/QfFvXC

Jonathan Alter ‏@jonathanalter
Not just cancer. My daughter's dr told me results of her genetic testing will make it tough for her to get insurance if Obamacarerepealed.

Steve Forbes ‏@SteveForbesCEO
One medical company is cancelling plans to open new factories. Why? Obamacare taxes. See @PaulHseih for @Forbes

Henry Blodget ‏@hblodget
Romney campaign addresses guy who's wife died... "If he'd lived in MA, he would have had health insurance"

Dean Clancy ‏@DeanClancy
Why do some Republicans think it's OK to trap seniors in a govt-run health care program, but not non-seniors? http://bit.ly/NljckV

FreedomWorks ‏@FreedomWorks

Get your #FullRepeal Action Kit here http://ow.ly/cPXUF  Help us stop Obamacare now! #tcot #tlot #hcr

TheNewDeal ‏@TheNewDeal
The GOP is Having a Meltdown b/c a Romney Staffer Told the Truth, That Romney Passed a Healthcare Mandate & it Worked.#RomneyCare #p2 #tcot

Sam Stein ‏@samsteinhp
"I actually like the name, because i do care" -- obama onObamacare

Russell Schaffer ‏@RussOnPolitics
Romneycare was designed to help Mitt Romney win reelection as Mass governor in 2006, not help him run for president in 2008 and beyond.

Philip Klein ‏@philipaklein
Romney team evidently adopting the @davidfrum argument & embracing Romneycare http://bit.ly/OOCzVA

U.S. Chamber ‏@uschamber
MT @USChamberAction: To drop or not to drop healthcare? That's the question #smallbiz is waiting to answer

Taegan Goddard ‏@politicalwire
To defend against an ad saying Romney caused worker to lose health care, Romney spokesperson cites universal care...

Ross Douthat ‏@DouthatNYT
@davidfrum Yes, maybe so! Though I don't see how Romney effectively rediscovers Romneycare without looking even more phony than usual.

davidfrum ‏@davidfrum
@DouthatNYT Americans may prefer a phony who doesnt want to take away their health insurance to someone who sincerely does want to

 

davidfrum ‏@davidfrum
Why universal health coverage is a conservative reformhttp://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2012/08/08/universal-healthcare.html …

 

Matt Novak ‏@paleofuture
if california ever does break off let's all agree to paddle it to australia and steal all their healthcare

 

Sarah Kliff ‏@sarahkliff
Romneycare would cover an unemployed cancer patient. Obamacare will too.

 

Brian Beutler ‏@brianbeutler
When @MittRomney's president and Obamacare's a thing of the past, he'll just encourage all sick/laid off people to move to Massachusetts.

 

RNC ‏@GOP
$810 Billion: Amount Of Taxes In #ObamaCare- http://bit.ly/MxEyiw#bythenumbers

 

Dave Rubin ‏@RubinReport
#ChickFila set a world record in fried chicken sales yesterday. This is precisely why we need #Obamacare.

 

Heritage Foundation ‏@Heritage
#Obamacare Robs Medicare of $716 Billion to Fund Itself!

 

Danielle Blake ‏@DCPlod
That awkward moment when your greatest achievement and your greatest embarrassment become the same thing. #Romneycare

 

MicheleBachmann ‏@MicheleBachmann
Younger, healthier Americans have the most to lose with#Obamacare, despite extending coverage to age 26: http://tiny.cc/jg8ciw #tcot
