Let me see if I have this straight - ReTHUGS took gazillions

[malaise]

from their financial backers and promised to derail Obamacare. They failed big time, attacked Obama for the website's problems, and now the Orange man says he couldn't care less if the website is working because the law is fundamentally wrong and repealing it is still very much on their agenda.

Were I in charge of the Democratic Party, I'd be running ads from now - ReTHUG serve their financiers not you and your family's healthcare.

Bumper sticker - Don't tread on my Obamacare!!!

1. The problem is.............

The private insurance companies, while angered at having to actually provide coverage, are happy to have more consumers.

This puts them at odds with other monied interests who want to ensure lots of death and suffering so they can earn money from things like hospital beds, coffins, etc.

2. And... payments to hospitals have been lowered

from first hand source, and pay to doctors who are salaried employees (not in private practice) are starting to go down as well.

For the record, these are NOT the guys and gals making millions either.

4. well the economy is hitting them now as well cause everyone's salary is being driven down

[malaise]

3. They want to have their cake and eat it

but I agree that there is no unity among the different money making interests at this time.
