Act.. You would think the country would now realize that Single Payer is the only way to go...But that aint happening cause were so freaking dumb...Get rid of the fucking middleman already and wake the fuck up.... everyone..
In a way, maybe Obama knew this would be confusing and difficult and hoped it would eventually lead to a stronger Universal Healthcare System discussion... I could only wish!!!

(51,666 posts)to demand Single Payer in great enough numbers eventually that it will happen. But I may not live long enough to see that. In the meantime, it is what it is.
Lots of people are now going to have medical bankruptcy who wouldn't if the hadn't rolled back the OOP and Lifetime limits.
I am quite angry about it, frankly, but it will show how we still are at the mercy of the insurance companies and lots more people will see that Single Payer is the only way to go

(51,666 posts)Eventually they will demand an end to the very concept of medical insurance. The middleman will wind up being blamed if we all play our cards right. We need to air all its dirty laundry and show how it profits by these delays.

(34,648 posts)My neighbor was a tea partier scared of death panels. Instead she got affordable prescriptions for her heart condition and can breath again. She hasn't yelled at me in months, she smiles at me now, and gets worked up about how nice it would be if Obama's mother could have been here to see Obamacare and how it could have saved her.
She hated RMoney.
Wait till I tell her about single payor. She'll never say socialism in that nasty tone of voice again.
