Well, they claim its because of the individual mandate (you must have health insurance). This idea has been the sole thing the Democrats and Republicans have disagreed on since the late 80s. The Democrats didn't want it, the Republicans didn't want health care reform without it. Now Obama really wanted to pass health care reform, so him and the Democratic strategists sat down and decided to adopt the idea of an individual mandate. This pissed off the Republicans since it meant they had nothing to complain about without looking like a dick, so they decided to abandon the idea. OE they are just racist dicks. I know few of the more vocal advocates for an individual mandate were asked why they are Noe against it and they basically said Obama shouldn't have supported it and left it at that.
