    Even though neo Liberal is about hands off government. Obama Care directed private companies on how they were to behave. How can that be neo Liberal?

      They’re only hands off when it comes to things like social safety nets. Obamacare was basically corporate welfare.

          What? Obamacare included an insurance mandate that required everyone to sign up or face penalties.

          To sign up for healthcare provided by a corporation. It was a major handout.

          It was literally Mitt Romney and the Heritage Foundation’s plan in MA originally.
