71. For all the fear of the Supremes knocking it down

Jun 2012

I still believe they (meaning the corporatized majority) knew that this bill was like a fattened suckling pig on a silver platter to the ravenous ins. cos. No way were they going to do anything that would actually provide health CARE to real human beings. All they care about is siphoning more working class wealth to the 1%, and this bill does it in spades.
