Quote from AAAintheBeltway:
I haven't plowed thorugh all this thread, but some are making the point that Obama didn't appreciate the burden of Obamacare on business. Others have pointed out that he didn't appreciate how it would cause private inurance rates to go up.
Both observations miss the point. Obama and the democrats look at obamacare as a way station, not the ultimate goal. They want a fully socialized, single payer system. One way to get that is to impose a system that is so horrendous that people clamor for something "better." Like all failed liberal programs, they will never admit it was a mistake. they will just argue it proves why we need a fully socialized system.
And they will prevail with that argument. If there were enough morons, racists and parasites to reelect him, there will certainly be majorities to vote for "free" health care.
