What do you expect ? our community organizer in charge was a community organizer in Chicago. And we see how big of a shit hole that is. He's just tryin to make the rest of the country blend in. And he chose to start with our health care system.
You aren't going to see many liberals who aren't just blind followers cheer this bill on. I'm not in favor of it what so ever. While it may be a starting point, it doesn't do nearly enough.

Taking care of sick people should be a basic human right, not only does it help the sick, it helps everyone else. Single payer or bust. Flame away...
