The comedy in this is that the Republicans will continue to scream about "the shrinking middle class" but when every policy is designed to benefit the wealthy elite at the expense of the center the middle class will not magically re-appear.
- toomuchtodo 9y agoVery much looking forward to see which Republicans in swing states get the boot next year.
- edgyswingset 9y agoI find your confidence in the stupid American voting population strange. In other words, I don't believe that they'll do anything like what you're implying they will.
- toomuchtodo 9y agoThis bill is going to end up killing people (through the removal of health insurance for the poor and those with "pre existing conditions"); even your most uninformed voter will come around once this starts being put into place. I'm hoping for riots, but will accept replacing representatives through the voting process.
- munificent 9y agoOur health care story in the United States has been killing people for decades, yet here we are.
- edgyswingset 9y ago> This bill is going to end up killing people I'm pessimistic that this will ever be known by those in swing states, let alone cared about. I've traveled to those places and met people there. They have normalized death due to medical complications and drug addiction. Why should more people dying make a difference there?
- maxerickson 9y agoRoughly half the people in a swing state would tend to be people that agree with you (because that's what a swing state is...). Edgy though, you hit that mark.
- badlucklottery 9y ago> the stupid American voting population That seems a little unfair. I'd say they're more insulated than stupid. But when people inside their bubble start losing subsidies and getting hammered with the true cost of coverage, that might be enough to break through to some of them.
- donatj 9y agoThe thousands I've paid because of the individual mandate sure didn't help my middle class status.
- CalChris 9y agoSo were you expecting free health insurance or were you expecting no health insurance?
- Avshalom 9y agoThe internet is full of people who seem to believe (at least for rhetorical purposes) that their insurances rates never went up before the ACA and were never going to go up, and they were never going to be dropped from their catastrophic deductible plan halfway through medical treatment for reaching a lifetime limit.
