Romney Revs Crowd w/Obamacare

Appearing in a swanky New York ballroom a day after the Supreme Court upheld the heart of the president’s healthcare law, Mitt Romney called on the country to vote President Obama out of office and his surrogates asked for money to help him do that. “What happened yesterday calls for greater urgency, I believe, in the election,” Romney said, to a crowd of donors in a ballroom at New York restaurant Cipriani, which is across from New York City’s Grand Central Station. “I think people recognize that if you want to replace Obamacare, you’ve got to replace President Obama. And the urgency of doing that is something which is galvanizing people across the county.” Romney said that the healthcare bill would cost the country $500 billion and warned the crowd that they would “now have a government bureaucrat between you and your doctor”/Alana Semuels, Los Angeles Times.

Question: Are you concerned how Obamacare will affect you?
