(8,200 posts)The media has focused its coverage on the one controversial element; mandatory compliance. Those who oppose the plan solely because the hate Obama know that without the requirement that everyone purchase insurance the entire program is domed.
For those Republicans and for that matter anyone who opposes the requirement and spews the rhetoric of rugged self sustaining individual, I would hope that they would also repeal any law that requires that medical treatment be given to anyone regardless of their inability to pay. They will quickly realize that a large segment of the working class jerks that support the Republicans and their own destruction will be throw out on the street like garbage to suffer and die. They shouldn't have any problem with those who say they shouldn't have to pay for some lackey that doesn't have insurance with higher premiums and taxes to support hospitals.
Welcome to the New America envisioned by the Conservatives with the whole hearted support of Christian Fundamentalists along with the Catholic bishops who oppose contraceptive health care for women.
