What is happening here is that THIS is equated with (true story) someone calling their insurance company for coverage of some sort and being directed toward consideration of a preventative program of one type or another as an example, to the poster, of how the hateful BO, through the ACA, is implementing a conspiracy to _______________________ .
The emo prog movement has equated what you have posted here with any and every bitchy gripe, actual, but more imagined at this point, that anyone can come up with, as a justification to undercut the President's options (because of a base that's eroding around the edges where he needs strength the most to do the most radical things) to make substantive political moves on this or anything else.
Imagine, someone (???? = remember we don't actually know who in a lot of cases) demands that you do the most radical thing conceivable about X and then you do it and then that base making that radical demand, does it solidify? or does it morph into another radical demand and threaten your base further? Does it commit to you and do work supporting the issue that they supposedly care soooooooooooooo much about? Does it disappear? What concretely happens after you acquiesce to radical demands?
THAT's a legitimate and a very real question with all radical demands that are held to no criteria, no responsibility, ON THE FACTS. If it's ALL emotions, SELF justifying emotions, emotions can morph from one thing to another. You can go to the max for the demanders, and perhaps even achieve some degree of success on their demands, but THE SUPPORT for all of that is so ephemeral that that success itself on whatever their issue was CAN be destroyed/betrayed because it's not built on much that is factual much more than "I/we" want _________ and we're are going to kick and scream everyone for WHAT THE FUCK EVER, until we get it.
Sorry, I will NOT discredit, I will not dishonor that suffering, that you have posted here by equating it with the other kind of bullshit that is going on.
