Reply #57: It's why I'm no longer an anarchist

[uriel1972]

waiting for the system to fail. I need my insulin, my glassess, my anti-psychotics/anti-depressants and at least ten other meds a day. I don't like what some pharmas do but I need them to stay alive. I can't afford to be a purist. I am fortunate to be in a country where everybody is covered and am amazed by people here who complain.

I am astounded by these people who are so blinded by their perfect choice that they fail to see the people being ground under the wheel. I'm sorry for you prole (and I don't necessarilly include you in that former category) that you are unemployed and have no cover and I can see why you are bitterly dissappointed, but that does not mean there aren't some positives in this bill.

I guess it's the lesser of two evils argument again. The important thing about the argument is there are two options and neither is good so what do you choose? For some it is sticking with the greater evil while waiting for the unicorn of mythical fairness to come along and fart out a good choice. Sorry, but the people on the sharp end of the deal don't have time to wait for that. It's a start and things can be added or changed later on as long as the start is there.
