If Obama gets a halfway decent health care bill passed, up and running... |
|
... after a few years, when everyone in America finds they have reasonable health care, no one will dare dismantle it. It will become ingrained in society like Social Security is.
And Democrats could point out each Republican that voted against it.
This assumes, of course, that it provides reasonable health care for everyone.
If it falls short of this goal, it will be destroyed as soon as the GOP gets control again. It would then become a liability for Democrats and would never again be attempted
... as more and more people die and lose their life savings, homes and future to the medical insurance machine.

1. Midterm campaign slogan FAIL - 'We're Halfway Decent!' |

2. You are assuming it's a halfway indecent program. |

Kind of like wearing those naughty hospital smocks that open in the back.
That's the part two program I was referring to.
Part one assumes it basically does what it was meant to do.
What we are actually presented with remains to be seen.

7. The senate bill = "I'm gettting 95% of what I want". The problem isn't RW obstructionism. |

9. 1. Obama doesn't "get it up and running." |
|

It comes from Congress, and he signs it, or not. He doesn't create it.
2. What has been suggested so far from Congress, and supported so far by Obama, is not "halfway decent." It's worse in some ways than what we've got now. I, for instance, do not want mandated private insurance to become "normal."
