You understate the fiscal damage caused by people not having insurance

I didn't over or understate it. I didn't state it at all. Primarily because at least a fiscal issue, it isn't in the same league as this bill.

have successfully implemented universal health care.

You define success as what you want to get. If its not universal (in whatever way you choose to define that word) its not success to you.

Their success is not nearly as great as you make it out to be.

How can any thoughtful, caring, reasonable American allow such conspicious and narrow entitlement go unimpeded?

That statement doesn't make any sense. Having the government support health care is about entitlement, both in the technical sense that its an entitlement program, and in the more general sense that its about telling people they are legally entitled to government support and having them come to expect that. Opposition to that has nothing to do with entitlement.

American liberals look ridiculous but they seem to act as if they are terribly narcissistic and entitled as well.

Exactly. This will be tied up in the SCOTUS. The SCOTUS does pay attention to popular opinion and there is no question this is unConstitutional. I expect it to self destruct in the court system. So don't get your hopes for a socialist takeover up to high just yet.
