In reply to the discussion: Why are Americans so resistant to Universal Healthcare? [View all]Bayard
(22,075 posts)I actually think this is why a lot of people choose to be Rethuglicans, especially seniors. They just don't get the concept of universal healthcare. Everyone else here saying, they believe it means sub-standard care, long waits, etc etc, is absolutely right. They have been told this over and over.
In the wake of last weeks Rethug disaster, it is the perfect time for Dems to be supporting and pushing Bernie Sanders' new bill, as well as, educating the hell out of people. More, more, MORE town halls and marches. Show constituents that their Dem Congressman/woman is more than happy to meet with them and answer their questions. Not hiding out and lying like the Rethugs do.
My senators are McConnell and Rand Paul. Useless obstructionists. Do other senators pay any attention to people contacting them who are not their constituents? How about appearances/public service announcements from people like Obama and Biden? Sorry to say, I don't think Hillary would do us any favors by appearing.
Now is the time to go for Rethug's throats......
