Lucky me, I have TRICARE.

That said, I think the nation NEEDS Obamacare...because the road to single payer is through it.

We can't get to single payer without running Obamacare through its paces.

Anyone who doesn't see that doesn't understand how this country does things.

We had to fart around with DADT before the ban on gays in the military was lifted.

We can never go straight to the right thing--it's not in our nature, because we have these people known as "Republicans" who live here with us, and they are slow on the uptake.

Exactly. A candidate saying "I'll fix what's wrong with it" is NOT selling the ACA. SunSeeker Mar 2014 #11
