I want the same type of healthcare coverage for all in this country that provides AFFORDABLE healthcare, right now the insurance cartels are all about raking in obscene profits and their lobbyists get their clueless Tea Party/wingnut supporters of insurance company profits to oppose healthcare legislation that attempts to get coverage for poor people.
Decriminalize pot or, better yet, make it legal. Congress and the military get true universal healthcare coverage. Whats good for the goose is good for the gander.
I agree with odanny. The Obamacare is flawed because it only considers private sector insurance. IMHO the entire health care industry need to be nationalized because all citizens eventually need health care and everyone should pay for providing it. Removing the private sector from this industry would save countless dollars in excessive administrative costs and monopoly profits while still paying the workers competitive wages and better benefits.
OP - All the recreational drugs should be legal and regulated for quality by the government. Regualtory fees could be used to rehabilitate the addicts that wish to quit.
Insurance cartels decide if you qualify for medical coverage. Their behavior dictates that 40,000 Americans (at least) die prematurely every year.
If the government makes healthcare affordable it is DOING IT'S JOB, protecting its citizens.
It shouldn't take genius level IQ to add 2+2. The stocks of the insurance companies went UP the moment the bill was signed.
Taken a step further (if that isn't obvious enough for you), can you not understand the benefits to an industry that would gain 30-50 million new customers BY DICTATE OF LAW ?
And if that isn't obvious enough, can you imagine why congress exempted itself from Obamacare if it's such a glorious thing?

We're getting dangerously close to zero-some freedom.
You would think that the outright hypocrisy would lead to some cognitive dissonance on their part, but that would presume that thugs have any practical cognitive abilities at all.
