| Alright sir, how would you rate President Obama's job performance? | |
| Overall, very well. | |
| On a scale of 1 to 10? | |
| Yes. | |
| Right now? | |
| I'd give him a 7.5. | |
| I'll give him a 6. | |
| Any particular area that you're impressed with? | |
| He speaks in complete sentences. | |
| How do you feel about Obamacare? | |
| Well, I think sometimes it doesn't benefit me personally in terms of the changes that are made, but I think it benefits people on the whole. | |
| I don't have health insurance. | |
| I don't look forward to paying premiums that I don't pay now, but hopefully the fact that we all have to sign up, those of us uninsured, will make those premiums a lot more affordable and I'm going to join just because I think all the wrong people want me to sit on the sidelines and not join. | |
| Having Obamacare will probably make the healthcare that they do give not as high of standards. | |
| There's some strict premiums and guidelines with Obamacare and we actually see employers actually cutting the hours of their employees so they can't benefit. | |
| Well, at least in some fields where workers are short, let's hope that it becomes one of those carrots. | |
| And what do you ladies think about married couples having increased premiums? | |
| So if you get married, your premiums are going to increase. | |
| Yeah, I don't understand what his intentions are with that. | |
| We see about 60% of doctors say they'd rather retire early than go through all the hoops of implementing Obamacare. | |
| How does that make you feel? | |
| I think it's just going to take a cycle or two to really be able to prepare for this. | |
| I think it's kind of scary looking into the future and realizing all these people who have worked their way up into these positions. | |
| And if you see them backing out, you kind of wonder, like, yeah, I don't know that much about the situation myself. | |
| And if these people who are knowledgeable of the information and know what's going on, if they're backing out themselves, it kind of makes me worried. | |
| Where there is a gap, the market will fill it. | |
| So if those doctors retire, then we'll have more strip malls having Doc in a Box. | |
| And some people are against Obamacare just because the fact that the government is now allowed to make you buy a product or service. | |
| We just want you to go ahead and get this health care. | |
| Would you be for that? | |
| If everyone had some basic coverage, I think it benefits the society. | |
| And on that buying a product or service, we see a small town in Georgia now has a city ordinance forcing their residents to purchase firearms, to own firearms in their home. | |
| How do you feel about that? | |
| There's a lot of people shouldn't have access to firearms, so I think that's absurd. | |
| Now does this cross any lines as far as the government making you own a product or service? | |
| To me that's a totally different situation. | |
