Honestly, this bill is an ins. give away. I'm just hoping that its a massive failure and gets people into single payer faster.. esp. when they are forced to buy it and it doesn't cover shit.

| 3. He said it during the rally in VA.. I think Stinky was watching the same channel. |

His point explains what I mean.. I can't link a YouTube at work.. sorry, on MSNBC blip...
Watching people cheer against themselves just now was like I felt watching Bush people cheer for upside down things.. I'd shake my head and wonder "really, they don't see they are clapping against themeselves".

| 4. This is sort of what I am thinking - that certain aspects of it will be such |
|
a horrible failure that we will HAVE TO go to single payer.
More people will have medical insurance, but the rate of bankruptcies due to medical expenses will continue to rise.

| 5. Actually, no matter what, people will be priced out of being able to pay for anything. |
|
As it is, companies are dumping "full time" to avoid the mandate.

| 6. If ENOUGH people get priced out, the path to single payer will be laid wide open. |
|
Medical insurers wil have zero clout if they have zero customers.

| 8. Well, I consider this to be a long-term WAR against injustice. And I may |
|
be one of the casualties ultimately, but in the end we WILL prevail.

| 9. That's the truly sad part. |

It seems our government prefers to have "bodied people" die while protecting "corporate people" at all costs (to borrow MurryHillInc's "people" terms). Hopefully this wrong-headed approach will reach it's natural conclusion quickly.

| 10. I'm afraid the POTUS has been on a trash-the-insurance-company tour, |
|
all the while serving us up to them. I don't get it.
