(21,115 posts)citizens to demand it. Most in those states are NOT feeling that pressure because the majority of the people are predisposed against the ACA. BUT in the next few months...as more and more are able to use word of mouth to describe the great benefits of that expansion...they will have no choice....the people regardless of political affiliation will demand they get the same as all those other states.
This is to me why the ACA is so important of a step towards the Single Payer option....you have to give those misinformed "Republican voters" to taste it first....thats what ACA will do..give them a taste of what could be. They will come around. I know them well...and I know they have been brainwashed to believe that only what directly effects them is important....BUT if they find out there are people getting something they are not....You see the mind of these people....they just want to see other people suffer more than they do. It means they are a "class above the bottom". That's all that matters to them...that THEY are not the ones on the bottom. So once the benefits are widely known...they will demand it BECAUSE they cannot abide being "on the bottom".
