This thing has turned the corner and it's absolutely a bug up their ass. Like Social Security. Like Medicare. Like every other program that is designed to protect to poor, the elderly, the vulnerable. How the fuck can you be a Republican and look in the mirror you selfish shit-assed conceited pricks and oppose these programs because of your selfishness? They know that once the population understands that the program guarantees the basic human right of receiving healthcare treatment when you are ill, that there is no going back. That's why they want to delay the implementation of the program, no other reason. Because once the program is implemented, the American people will realize that the idea that every single American who is ill deserves the right to be treated for that illness is a good thing. And that Americans will reject the GOP and Tea Party idea that you ought to be able to get treatment for an illness only if you have enough money to pay for that treatment.
Isn't that the bottom line? Or that,God forbid, tax dollars should be used to treat sick people. Which is, of course, what happens right now.
Chime in folks. How do we treat sick people? What should we do?
