Let's see, BO said he didn't want single payer, it was never written as single payer, and it was passed without input or support from Republicans. At leas that's how it went in this reality. I have no clue about where you come from.
"The only detail that matters is that Republicans would not allow single payer. You got what you deserve."
You continue to amaze me. Not in a good way. This fiasco was passed when the Dems controlled the house, senate and white house. Controlled. That means the Dems could have passed anything they wanted. Hell, they did. Republicans attempting to save the Republic from this nightmare were flatly overruled.
That means the Dems could have passed anything they wanted. Hell, they did.
Dems didn't have the votes among themselves to pass single payer and Republicans had no proposal. So what did you expect - a half-assed universal health-care bill.
Democrats ...... The same ones paying Michelle's roomie 15x what it cost to build Amazon ..... We're busy building the "still a calamity" website and writing the law.
They were set against universal healthcare from the start so the dems went ahead without them.
That's probably the most accurate thing I've ever seen you post. Yes, the Republicans were against single payer. They were also against the monstrous failure that was passed. Yes it was done COMPLETELY without Republican support. It was done COMPLETELY without Republican input. Not because they had nothing to offer, but because the majority leaders wouldn't ever let anything they proposed come to a vote. This gigantic clusterf**k is 100% Democrat.
Obama wanted Socialized medicine, aka "Single payer", but knew he couldn't get that past Congress, period. ( D, R, or I you don't survive to get re-elected with THAT crap ) He also stated that he'd have to do it over a period of time, and so we have the current Cloward-Piven system designed to enrage America into demanding a "Strong Leader" "Fix Things" and "Demand Single Payer".
They've already begun the propaganda campaign to ramp up to the "Demand Single Payer" and it will go remarkably like Court's interviews. They already have the disaster, and if timed just right ( and Barry has already set up the timing ) the next 200 million people that lose their health insurance because of Obamacare, will let the so called press tell us that demand exists.
That is assuming Putin doesn't kick The O's butt for starting a war first.
Second point.
Yes, the Republicans didn't have input, but they DID slide a poison pill into one of the spending bills ( IIRC another "continuing resolution" they do now instead of a legal budget ) that insisted that Congress would be bound by the same law as everyone else.
Naturally when that part kicked in they screamed like wounded water buffaloes and Barack Obama illegally paid their bills with your money in direct violation of at least 3 laws, including Obamacare.
Other than those little nit picking points, you are correct. Carry on.
And here I was thinking that the latest news on the post office losing 1.9 BILLION in its second quarter and the grim news on deaths at VA hospitals would silence anyone from making the argument FOR single payer government run healthcare.
Thats like saying the clippers owner sterling should head up the naacp.
The ACA is Americas First Five Year Plan; its track will follow (and has) the trajectory of NEP from Lenin.
A primer for those unaware. The Soviet Revolution and WWI gutted Russian Industry.... So Lenin (and bankers) 'invited' in foreign investment, development, and technology - to build the base, promote production and build 'infrastructure'..... when the numbers were shown to create wealth to the capitalists holders of industry and factories but not the workers - he seized it - all of it - implemented state production quotas
Obama is simply Lenin 2.o So - invite in foreign infrastructure builders, let them make huge money in profiteering and cronyism....and then 'seize' the assets and widget of 'supply this time / not production) and run it as a state controlled schedule of curruption, power, tyranny and economic strangle over the lower class to promote his power.
History rhymes - entirely too much. Enjoy the show - I have already seen it.
it was designed to fail - to say otherwise shows you haven't read it; and haven't been paying attention.
Well, this is one of those cases, that IMO, I can be right if I want and you can be right if you want. It's as simple as picking the right quotes from BO. He's officially for or against it depending on who he's speaking to. The man literally has not spine at all.
Now if we are talking about what he REALLY wants to happen, then I haven't got a leg to stand on. Of course he wants single payer. Let's not be stupid!
I used to often wonder if there were people in Germany that actually willingly supported Hitler as he dragged them down the crapper. There is no longer any doubt in my mind. It's quite chilling to see it in action.
There were. Most did. Hitler was an excellent orator. Much like Obama, but more effective, with the ability to execute and not just prattle on incessantly. Unfortunately for the world in general, and Jews specifically. But also blacks, gays, gypsies...
The vast majority of the German populace supported the Nazi movement, and had no idea what was really happening. It wasn't until they were shown the death camps that they believed.
The actions of some of our "elected" officials are beyond belief.
moochelle's hash tag thing for the kidnapped girls does she think that the guerrilla fighters that took those children, actually do twitter? REALLY? these people live in another world....
"Why did some VA administrators go so far as to create a secret waiting list to hide year-plus wait times? There’s only one plausible answer to these questions: rationing. The VA is but a smaller version of the sort of government-run, single-payer health care with which the political left is so enamored."
Yet Sarah Palin was crazy for telling us about Death Panels. Comrades, Utopia is near!
