OBAMACARE EXPOSED AS RIGHT WING FRAUD GONE AMOK. WHEN WILL WE STOP PRIVITIZING EVERYTHING?

Everytime I hear some Tea Party douchebag scream about the "socialized" takeover of our healthcare system, I want to jam my whole arm down their throat and pull their asses through their mouths. The only thing socialized about our past or current health care system is the fact that ALL health care systems everywhere on Earth are socialized as that's how risk pools work. You have everyone, healthy or sick, in a large enough pool and rates will go down; too many sick people on the rolls and costs skyrocket. As we have the worst risk pools on the planet due to a lack of young healthy people on the ranks, our costs are simply exploding.

Now a smart man, or at the very least one not controlled by corporate interests, would have pushed hard for a single payer plan. An idiot, let's call him President Dobama, instead decides to dust off the old Republican plan from the mid-90 and pray the right wingers go along with it. They don't and do everything they can to sabotage it, including Republican governors refusing to expand Medicaid, Medicare or even create a website. The House endlessly debates getting rid of it, costing the taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars, even though it was their plan in the first place.

The worst part about this is that the entire law was basically written by the insurance industry to maximize profits while giving in a little about throwing people off their policies when they had the audacity to actually get sick or denying sick people insurance because of a pre-existing condition. A person with my health problems knows how hard it was to get insurance before I moved to MA where Romneycare does work to a certain extent. It is NOT keeping costs down though, but at least I don't have to go bankrupt to see my doctor. If I get really sick again, I will be going through bankruptcy as my last illness wiped out my life savings and Obamacare does nothing to stop that.

Paul Krugman wrote about the possible disaster Obamacare presented back in 2009 when he noticed, as I did about a year later, that knock any of the four pillars away from the ACA and the whole thing falls apart. Right now, the whole thing is crumbling, some of which was avoidable like making sure you had a functioning website, possibly the easiest thing to get right which they did not. The fact it was done by a corporation rather than the government shows that as of right now, there is not a single entity on Earth that can save us at this point. Both the government and corporations have proven to be utterly incompetent in doing just about anything, making cries for a government run society, or a corporate run one, equally disturbing. What we really need is a government acting as a watchdog for the people while corporations are forced to run in a  more ethical manner. The result we have now is a bunch of chickens running around with their heads cut off. Both suck equally and this spells doom for the planet.

This will only embolden the Tea Party and other right wingers to declare government the bane of all existence, that privatization is the only way to go and may lead to a crushing defeat in 2014 for the democrats who should have cruised to an easy victory. But as Obamacare goes down in flames, so goes the democrats with it. This all could have been down so much better if we didn't have such hyper-partisanship in Congress, a fact that is destroying this country. The mouthbreathers that have put people like Michelle Bachmann and Steve King into office really need to put a gun in the mouth and fire because my God you out there are too stupid too live.

What we need are more people like Liz Warren who is actually fighting for the little guy. Most politicians are in the back pocket of Big Business, left or right, and until that changes, nothing else will. We need demonization of the ACA by the right to stop, not to mention the near endless lies being told about it. And the left needs to stop pretending all is well, looking more and more like Kevin Bacon at the end of Animal House before he gets run over by a panicked mob. It is NOT working and all the assurances in the world isn't going to affect that. It could end health care in general if things get even worse, especially with the right's "every man for himself" policies.

We should all be demanding a better health care system. Not the ACA. Not the Republicans mythical health fix that they have yet to share with the rest of us. A single payer plan is the only way left and while millions may lose their jobs in various industries because if it (not to mention trillions in profits to the insurance, pharamacutical and hospital industry) the end result is a cheaper better run health care system for all. The current system is not socialized medicine. If it was, it would work far better than this privatized garbage that we still have.
