I myself am still angry that the bill won't cover everyone with pre-existing positions till 2014. I understand people complaining and being mad about it. However, to complain about the fact that some people are getting covered immediatly on the basis that you don't care about that group of people doesn't make any sense to me. I agree it's unfair, but I still would rather have children covered than no one at all. And saying that because one doesn't have children one couldn't care less about them is a rather callous statement to me. Part of being progressive is caring for everyone, even those you don't know.

If you want to see examples of people "not liking" certain groups of people and not pretending otherwise, you can just look at the Tea Party.
