How is Obamacare not a disaster for the Democratic party? (revised)

[Mass]

84. A lot more people have been helped than hurt. People know that. For one, I welcome a system who

helps the poor, even if it can hurt some affluent middle class people (this person is a lawyer, for example. She may not be rich, but she should be able to pay a little bit more for her health insurance). The person below 130% poverty line who will at last be able to get insurance has NO OTHER CHOICE.

I am not surprised that middle class reporters will recognize themselves in middle class lawyers and professionals. What surprises me is that people who supposedly are progressive do not get the problem. Have I made an error concerning you.

Another point, and one ignored by many single payer advocates that have never lived in a system with single payer: I bet you this person would also have had to pay more with single payer. Granted that the system would have been better (particularly is most doctors accepted single payer), but it is more than likely SHE WOULD HAVE PAID MORE AS WELL,

Now, do not think I disagree with single payer. It should have happened, but the reason it should have happened is that we should pay for healthcare according to our income, and this person clearly is in the top half of the ladder.
