In reply to the discussion: BREAKING: Supreme Court Upholds Individual Mandate As A Tax [View all]tavalon
(27,985 posts)I really, really do. I would give up my union mandated health care for medicare for all, in a New York minute. Of course, if Eric Cantor (the bespectacled bitch, as the Rude Pundit called him) is to be believed, my health insurance is already gone, destroyed by the evil of Romney, er Obamacare. Luckily, I'm not that gullible. But, I would happily pay my monthly tax to have every American (and even illegal aliens - what a stupid, alienating phrase) covered.
I think that might be a fundamental difference between true Democrats and true Republicans. I believe in We The People, and they believe in Me, Myself and I. I don't think those are reconcilable nor do I think a "third way" is anything but a breach in what true Democrats believe. But then again, I think the "third way" has destroyed the Democratic party and that's one reason I don't identify with the Democrats any more. I'm a Socialist now, so why wouldn't I want socialized medicine?
