You want me to post JFK's innagural address? It was one of the best.

If Dems were still shared the philosophy of that man, I'd probably vote for them.

What a shame.

I'm getting an entitlement by being mandated to purchase private health insurance? Give me a break.

"Your country", weirdly, includes your fellow citizens.

The Dems have done something, Christ-like and humanitarian, for their impoverished fellow Americans.

I'm delighted that the inhumane, greedy, pro-business/anti-citizens Repugs have, true to their obstructionist/retrograde characters, excluded themselves from this historic act.

"for Big Pharma and insurance companies"

yes, that's really bad, but if the bill had been a head-on smash-mouth attack on those two's revenues (aka, costs), the bill would have been still-born.

Avoiding the perfect as the enemy of the good enough for starters.

Those assholes will get their come-uppance later, and they know it.

medicare-for-absolutely-everybody public option (see Grayson's proposal as one approach) will fuck up the for-profit insurers into niche markets of people wanting sort HSA/Flex their public option coverage(which is exactly how private insurers exist in adult countries).

single-buyer will fuck up BigPharma's exorbitant profits spigot.

I can't wait! :lol
