Blaming ObamaCare on Republicans is a sure admission of its failure. Republicans had ideas to bring down costs (tort reform, expanding markets across state lines etc) but were told to sit in the back seat while the liberals schemed to fleece American workers of their earned healthcare benefits. Hardly a shared idea.Yeah, the Democrats. I mean it's the same plan as was proposed and wholely supported by Republicans Mitt Romney in '08 and the entire Republican Congress in the 90's, but yeah this is all Democrats scheme. Be more of a right wing Hannity fan caricature, please. You realize of course that many supporters of Obama assumed, by his own words, that he would launch a public option in the form of radically expanded Medicare styled after European single payer socialized medicine, which is orders of magnitude better than our current situation, right? So that "too stupid to expect a tax" falls flat on its face.
The socialist healthcare system is the end goal for the left as the ACA manages the decline of our own.
That managed decline goes beyond our healthcare system & is defining the Obama era from race relations to foreign policy, from our standard of living to Americas standing in the world.
