>> Same tiresome crap...the government sucks, nothing works right, costs too much, blah, blah...meantime millions do not have proper care, either by choice or by economic standing....neither of which is acceptable...and more do now and even more will as time passes...and so more sand in the sahara mr friedman, just a year into the thing.
Al, the facts of the situation weren't created by Ten or me. The question before is now is how do the problems get solved. Simply claiming there are no problems, or that they're not big enough to concern ourselves with, is not a strategy to improve peoples' lives. It is a political strategy.
We need leadership that is willing to make decisions that are in the best interests of the people rather than ones that are perceived to benefit the power structure or a given political party.
Yes, I believe the entire law is so bad, so devastating, that it must be repealed. But the Dems can have credit for bringing the subject to the forefront. That's fine. Let's just try actually improve the health care system.
Where we stand today is that the health care system is worse than it was before. This isn't conjecture. It is demonstrably so. The law was enacted six years ago. It s time for us to be evaluating the results of it. The argument that we ought to ignore the negative truths about it seems ridiculous to me. How do you solve problems if you don't investigate them, collect data, perform research, etc.? And if you politically motivated not to respond to them?
I don't get it. It is like you're not even making a pretense about caring about the people who are adversely affected. |
