(82,383 posts)you are the one pissing on others about Obama and the fact you can't stand anyone supporting him or the ACA, and it doesn't matter what country they live in now.
No, it is not about some crush on Obama, but an opinion that the ACA was the best we could get and that it's a move forward and that dissing it overmuch does not help with the soft middle of voters out there, and thus is counterproductive to moving forward to a system like Canada's.
With so many voters worried about "government health care" you are pissing on this way and expecting then the voters will react by electing people to enact a system involving even more government? that is not going to work. You think you can scold the right and the middle into giving you a Canadian system? Any Canadian or Australian is qualified to opine on what might lead to enactment of such a system and to possibly disagree that your apparent method for getting it is going to work.
Maybe you have some proof that whining produced the Canadian and Australian systems? Stomping feet and electing Tories to spite the Labor Party for not doing it fast enough? Is that how it came about?
