Functional does not in any way mean better. I do not want to wait on a list for my health care. As I noted in another comment - http://news.ycombinator.com/item

Functional does not in any way mean better. I do not want to wait on a list for my health care. As I noted in another comment - http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4466161 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4466161 - this doesn't just have to be "current shitty system" versus "socialism". I never said that the current system is great. All I said is that I'd rather have it than socialism. So many things we can fix easily about our system without going to socialism. And Obamacare is the worst of all worlds. Halfway socialism while still keeping insurance companies. Please tell me how that makes sense.
