We want 100% free coverage for little to nothing in premium payments.
We want our drugs covered 100% as well.

And all by privately owned business who gets their constant stream of revenue from our government.
But isn't that a good thing? Since government pays 100 percent of the drug costs and if I work for a drug company wont that mean when the drug price rises and government will pay that will secure my job since my company will be making record profits.

Why are drug costs increasing when technology makes prices lower in the private sector? Can't be government can it? The very same ones who now run our healthcare?

You made that up. So nothing to do with ObamaRomneycare being a failure. It's all because they want it to fail. How about we know it will fail. The costs will rise and efficiency will go down which is what happens when you bypass the free market.

Like disobeying Jim Crow? Yes by all means less listen to party over principle since they know how to run our lives.
