In reply to the discussion: The Uninsured Are Turning Against Obamacare. That's A Problem [View all]RobinA
(10,463 posts)the administration did a pisspoor job of marketing this program, I can't totally blame them for this. I mean, come on people, do you have to be spoonfed EVERYTHING? If you don't have health insurance you have a major problem. Along comes Obamacare, which might just get you some health insurance you can afford. Is taking some responsibility to find out about it THAT much to ask? How do people like this get through life???
And I'm not talking about people who ran into obstacles or still can't afford it. I'm talking people who say they don't know anything about it in such appalling numbers. This isn't some egghead situation that requires advanced degrees and close reading of a major newspaper, like, say, knowing that Iraq isn't responsible for 9/11, this is self-interest and they still can't be bothered to find out about it. My sympathy is strained.
