Well, once again, we the people have lost.

276. Let's see, the alternate version, OK

"Thank God the individual mandate got struck down. Now we aren't going to be giving the insurance industry a mandated monopoly, complete with weak price controls. Now we can start over and get real single payer UHC."

But I wasn't really working on that alternate post though. I thought, and posted, that the SC would be voting up the ACA. After all, what corporate friendly court is going to turn down the chance to give their corporate masters a mandated monopoly? It really wouldn't have surprised me if Scalia had been the one to turn, but in the end Roberts makes more sense.

What far too many people don't seem to realize is that our two party system, our government, is currently based off the notion good cop, bad cop. And while the bad cop(or Republicans) are all mean and scary, it is the good cops(Democrats) that actually achieve results. Yet they all work for the same employer, the corporate, rich and elite.
