The Root of the Resistance to ACA
By Carol Morgan
The resistance to the ACA is not about politics; nor is it about the economy or its website full of technological glitches. The opposition is rooted in something much deeper; the profoundly engrained and embedded basic human nature thats resistance to change. Since the beginning of time, with every new discovery and with each new invention, there are those who dig their heels into the dirt and grudgingly resist progresseven when it is in their own best interest to embrace it.
Throughout history, human beings resist change; fighting tooth and nail against anything that alters their routine.
Thousands of years ago, a Greek philosopher, Herclitus planted the seed of an eternal and enduring truth: Change is the only constant. Humans have fought against his words ever since.
