Futhermore I disagree with those here (and on talk radio) who claim that Obamacares failures makes the convincing case for single payer gov run health care, quite the opposite.
This is much more than a website that doesn’t work. Soon it will become apparent even to low information voters that this thing was sold on a pack of lies, like you can keep your health plan if you want and that it would pay for itself or even save money. It was all a baldface lie.
ALMOST? I would say that this is a primary American value.
BTW Hanity just announced that Moochell’s college classmate received the no-bid contract, CGI, to develop and create Obamacare.
ANYONE that has dealt with the Social Security Adm, or VA, has more than a clear understanding of a bureaucracy which is probably why seniors are more adverse to government intrusion..

If the young can be made to understand that the Student Loan Problem is do in great part to Big Government interference they will respond in kind..

A common criticism was “It’s just 10% of the population (communist party)screwing the other 90%.” But above I see that our “ruling class” percentage is 19%...
While I believe there isn’t a spitting distance between Fascism and Communism, I do think Obamacare is an excellent example of a fascist approach to Socialism. Government has partnered itself with private insurance to control it, and take it over. Those who don’t participate or agree with this bit of tyranny will become political criminals. Care to guess what is coming to our police state next?
This is how the media, in an indirect way, associates conservatives with anarchists. Notice how “conservatives”, are the ones that “view government as the problem.” It’s a short step from there to, “conservatives are anti-government.”
I think most conservatives see government as a necessity, while viewing the people running the government as the problem.
