11. And, of course, all of this could be prevented by simply
Going to Universal Single Payer Health Care, but that is not the future we are looking at.

Instead we have Big Health Insurance "Providers" and Big Pharma cooking up legislation to favor their profits. With the present Administration and Congress just lapping that up.

While the RW works itself into a frenzy, not over the truly scurrilous provisions of what is going down (Though sometimes they manage to object to the 1,000 plus pages of this) but rather no, their main objection is that somewhere someone might get something for free and thus avoid dying years before the actuarial tables suggest. And this objection is presented with the same vitriol that a rabid dog might shower upon its victim right before sinking the teeth to the carotid artery, and draining the person of their life.

So this vitriol pulls more people, who are in the center and to the left, to support WHATEVER offal we are offered,because that way we will show those crazed lunies that they cannot stop the Obama Administration.

In any other society on earth this whole process would propel someone with leadership abilities to come forward and lead the citizenry out of the miasma. But here it is just business as usual.
