In reply to the discussion: The Uninsured Are Turning Against Obamacare. That's A Problem [View all]zeemike
(18,998 posts)86. Scores and scores,,,is that forty?
Are you counting the ones on Hollywood Blvd?,,,that would make it over forty.
So 40 out of 46 million, I guess that is enough of a sample to make a judgment eh?
because it's Obama Care
See you did not need to ask them why...you already knew from that 40 or 50...and the ones that said they could not afford it were just hear to plant the false notion that everyone who is poor CAN afford it if they would just go to the exchange and look at it....and the ones that did and said they can't are just plants by the RW.
Well I can tell you because I live in one of the poorest parts of the country...not as poor as Appellation perhaps but not that far behind...and I know the people I live around and they cannot afford it if it only cost 50 a month...there have been times when I had to put some gas in my neighbors truck so he could get to work...and I am not well off myself but he does things for me as well.
I think the problem is many of us are detached from that reallity...and out of sight out of mind...and poor people become the invisible ones to the left and the slugs to the right.
But i know more than just what I was taught in school...I also read and that teaches me what others have been taught in school...and I got the 5 W's from a journalist who talked about what he learned in school and made the point that journalist were no longer reporting on the Why.
Too bad that was so long ago I can't give you a link.

It's funny how most people don't think of the Huff Post as liberal-friendly anymore.
