In reply to the discussion: Do not ever make the mistake of thinking that the Republicans are anything but the enemy. [View all]Orrex
(63,209 posts)Never in my adult life have I encountered an issue on which Democrats were, as a group, wrong while Republicans were, as a group, correct. Sure, there have been plenty of cases when they've both been wrong, but that's another matter.
I'm amazed at the number of smug, self-satisfied dismissals I've seen of the Affordable Care Act here at DU, and its detractors invariably refer to it as Obamacare. I don't know what they think will magically spring up in its place. Certainly not single-payor. Fuck, I can barely afford a checkup even with reasonably good employer-subsidized health insurance. And these knuckleheads are arguing against greater access to affordable care? WTF?
It's like that small but vocal contingent on DU that supports Ron Paul, of all people, because he doesn't want us to bomb Iran, and to hell with the rest of his racist, crackpot Randian bullshit.
Baffling.
