I don't want "Obamacare" destroyed...I want it strengthened to it's original intent. Democrats caved...tsk tsk tsk....they gots ta go too.
If you are for socialized medicine, then YOU can pay for it all.
We can't even pay the current system of Medicare/Medicaid.
Single Payer is the ONLY way to go.
Seriously America, gather your copy and pasting skills.

agreed, democrats had every chance to pass anything they wanted when they had a supermajority before the 2010 elections. The democratic senate spent the entire time demanding their kickbacks for the massive 2008 election cycle PR blitz.
So then the tea party got republican funding(and co-option), but can you really place all the blame squarely on them, when its really the democrats who drive middle America to vote republican out of contempt.
So now here we are, with many similar talking points to some democratic canidates. I can firmly say I don't wanna see this movement back those assholes without major concessions and some housecleaning on their part. They come to the park looking for a grassroots movement to peg their corporate dollars to.
The current system of health care does not work. Obamacare is a crony capitalist's wet dream. I am unsure of what I really want the system to be. I am open to ideas.
universal single payer was the only meaningful option. obamacare is a giant bag of corporate oligarchy give aways.
Socialized medicine - again- your vocabulary is simply dead wrong. we want democratic medicine.
democrats didn't cave. they were in on the con scam from the start.

I am disappointed too. I would have liked to see something stronger. Education is a big facet that needs to be addressed as well. Currently, I home school my kid; he's a senior this year. I pulled him out of the system when he was in the 5th grade. He's doing well and the program that I have him in, he is able to get a diploma. I think that there are so many problems that sometimes it is overwhelming. I alson think that there are many people waking up and fighting for what is just.
Medicare for All. Everyone, from birth to grave, gets medical, vision, dental. We all contribute. We all benefit.
I don't know if you can strengthen Obama / Romny care. It's really nothing more then 2000 pages of crap with about 3 lines of actual policy. I think we can do much better if we start over. I agree with you though, it's about time for universal healthcare in this country.
