Tao isn't all legislation forced through against the will of opponents of whatever law or legislation is passed. Obama did mess up on the health care but the opponents would of been just as much against him if not more if he would of done the right thing and pass single payer health care. My guess is he couldn't get single payer passed because of the hold the insurance companies have on congress on both sides. Maybe the grand scheme is this thing will morph into single payer, who knows.
If you think it is so great provide a link to a supportive article.Quote from bigarrow:
Go do some reading on the savings we would have by switching everyone to Medicare. The right is for expansive spending, it doesn't make it "conservative" just because the massive spending and waste is in the private sector. Just like the stupid drill baby drill was the stupidest and most wasteful idea ever brought up that actually received support. Both sides need to tighten their belt and the reps are every bit as responsible as the dems.
