Obamacare written to deceive the public.

[Heywood]

You have the conspiracy theory as option 1 (and there may even be some truth to it, because there are corporatist, conservative Blue Dog Democrats). You have, as option 2, exactly what I said, re-worded to make the uneducated conservative moron zombies and their corporate masters look like heroes saving America from the scourge of having more healthy people.

Both of which clearly ignore the fact that the REPEAL REPEAL REPEAL nightmare we've had to endure from the right for almost five years would have unquestionably been far worse, and everybody knew it. It's sort of fun watching you try to skirt the obvious fact that conservative opposition to helping the poor do anything except work harder and die faster is part and parcel of why we don't have the health care model that we should.

The democratic leadership could have put the public option to a test but were afraid too(and consequently whipped against it) because the votes might have actually been there to pass it. The primary purpose of this bill was not to help the American people....but to help big business so the public option was never an option.
