What do you imagine when you hear the word "welfare"? Most of us think of a minority living in a filthy house with five kids running around while an alcoholic dad sleeps it off face down on the couch ... if there's even a dad at all.
The deaf ears are the liberal ears. Conservatives do not dispute that there are people in legitimate need of help. Liberals ignore that and portray conservatives as not caring about the poor. Just like liberals consistently ignore the fact that Republicans want to replace Obamacare and instead portray them as wanting to deny healthcare to people. Ignore reality and present a narrative that gives yourself moral superiority and demonizes others - that's liberals.
I read the whole article. I doubt the RWNJs would make it past the second paragraph before screaming at the top of their lungs, "liberal bias!" without having read THE ENTIRE THING to know it's actually perfectly balanced.

Not true. At least not of me. In my ample volunteer work, I see compassion in people from all political stripes.
I am totally open to a comprehensive GOP healthcare plan. You have to admit, we've yet to see one. That is what makes people skeptical. If Republicans would get a real plan together, present it online for public view so we could compare it to O'care, and present it to the administration before negotiating what's already been done, I would totally support it if it is a more workable plan that covers everyone who needs it.
A lot of Dems are feeling sketchy about O'care, too, but we defend it because we're not seeing a concrete alternative and the amped-up rhetoric has circled the wagons. I'm serious about this. I would pull for the best plan no matter who came up with it.

And this is the root of the problem. Liberals believe that we need government interference in health care in order to make it affordable. What they fail to realize - or at least fail to admit - is that it was government interference in health care which made it unaffordable in the first place. What we actually need is to limit government involvement in health care and allow the free market to work, rather than letting government have even more involvement and bogging down the system more.
