Maryland Gov O'Malley called it a "freeloader penalty" and commented on Walker nicely on FacetheNation http://youtu.be/ZAsfrqDez_0

Obamacare may not be the answer to "all" of the health insurance problems, but it's a start that could grow for the better if the two sides could actually come together.

Mitt's favorable opinion of Israel's Health care system in his own words:
“Do you realize what health care spending is as a percentage of the G.D.P. in Israel? Eight percent,” he said. “You spend eight percent of G.D.P. on health care. You’re a pretty healthy nation. We spend 18 percent of our G.D.P. on health care, 10 percentage points more. That gap, that 10 percent cost, compare that with the size of our military — our military which is 4 percent, 4 percent. Our gap with Israel is 10 points of G.D.P. We have to find ways — not just to provide health care to more people, but to find ways to fund and manage our health care costs.”


FYI:
Health care in Israel is universal and participation in a medical insurance plan is compulsory. Health care coverage is administered by a small number of organizations, with funding from the government. All Israeli citizens are entitled to the same Uniform Benefits Package, regardless of which organization they are a member of, and treatment under this package is funded for all citizens regardless of their financial means. Generally, health care in Israel is of high-quality and is delivered in an efficient and effective manner. Partly as a result of this, at an overall 82 years, Israelis enjoy the fourth-longest life expectancy in the world as of 2012.

In Mitt's defense he praised Israel last week so by now with the help from his friends he's probably changed his mind (retroactively of course)!
