MEOW
Let me put it to you like this.... Pretend you are a Democrat congressman... Your constituents are clearly indicating they oppose the HCR bill and want you to vote against it. You are planning to do so, but the Democrat leadership approaches you, and they say... Apple, we have a proposition... If you vote FOR the bill, we will take care of you! You'll be given a cushy job in the administration, or some money may find its way into your personal bank account... wonderful things are going to happen for you! And Apple, if you DON'T vote for the bill, we will go out of our way to destroy your career and leave you looking for a job, if you can avoid prison...we have friends in the Justice Department who can make that happen. So, Apple... it's up to you... Support it, and live the good life, or oppose it, and pay the price... what'll it be?
Then why did some Dems not vote for the bill? Did they not take those imaginary, in-your-mind government threats seriously?
And YOU may think it was the "right thing to do" but the vast and overwhelming majority of your fellow Americans completely disagree with you.... does that matter to you in the least? I can tell you what is going to happen... in 2013, the HCR bill will be repealed by a majority Republican congress and administration, and we will have wasted billions of dollars trying to implement something we will have to scrap. Now, I almost wish this wasn't the case, and this wasn't going to happen, because I would really like to see it play out, and for you to have to face the music of how utterly WRONG you are. This is NOT a good thing for Americans, for America, or for health care in the US. And it's not one of those wishy-washy kinda bad, kinda good things, like NAFTA, that we can probably live with... it is CATASTROPHIC bad! You are just too much of a Socialist idiot to understand that.
It was the right thing to do. The citizens in every country that has some form of government involvement in health care want more government involvement. Any politician that tries to dismantle their government plan is ostracized.
Every country. No exception.
Why are you having difficulty understanding that?
