$BILLIONS$ of tax payer dollars now flowing into the "private" pockets of Wall Streets incestuous 1st Cousin, the Health Insurance Industry, with mandated customers, and a guaranteed rake off of 20%.
THAT is tax payer/Middle Class money that will NOT go toward health CARE,
but used to buy Summer Homes in Aspen or Yachts for the privileged 1% who operate an "industry" that:
*Manufactures NOTHING
*Creates no (Value Added) Wealth
*Provides no useful service
The "Uniquely American Solution"....indeed.
Billions for NOTHING
Chalk up a BIG one on the DLC/3rd Way MISSION ACCOMPLISHED list.
Oh yeah, some crusts and end slices have fallen off the table for the peasants,
which is WAY MORE than the Republicans would do,
but excuse me if I don't show up for the VICTORY celebrations.
I KNOW why I chose the Democratic Party 47 years ago,
and conservative, Business Friendly, Moderate Republican policy is NOT the reason.
