The thing to watch for (imho), is any further liberties taken by a side of the government who has found an issue that the American people were in bad need of solving (health care cost, and it exploding due to fraud, corruption and greed over time). The problem with republicans and the repub culture could be (imho), is that it exist in a protectionist club mentality always, where as if they have what they need, well then they are satisfied and say to themselves that they are in need of nothing, but that doesn't take in to account all of the sad cases that are known about in existance around them, and so it is figured that they are cold hearted or heartless as is used so well, and it is now being capitalized on by this President when he speaks on the issue. He claims that it has all finally made it to their doorstep (i.e. the roosters coming home to roost so to speak right?). This is why they the repubs (in the propaganda game that is used by the left on them) have lost the support of the children who are of the next generation that is now won over by the other side I think, and it is all because they (the repubs) had reacted to a looming crisis far to slowly over time. The usage of the numbers only sinks them further, because it is also used by the left as the repubs only care about the numbers, and not for the care of the person or person's themselves who are either victims or are being adversely affected by it all. The young people look at it as if they are living with their parents for example, and lets say that they were in need of some important help on an issue that may save their life in a situation, but the parents says to them (WE CAN"T AFFORD IT), and this is how the young folks are viewing this thing, and OBama along with the dems who want to destroy the repub side knows this all to well now. So far it is working too.
They (the next generation) don't forget how their American friends for whom they had made in life, were being treated as second class citizens when it came to their healthcare needs in America, and especially when it wasn't working out for themselves when they would fall through the cracks just as well.
Healthcare is a universal need by all humans for whom have the breath of life within them, and to toy with such a thing in a political way or worse in a pure profit driven way in which favors corporations along with their games being played, ummmm has become a very trying time and thing for all who are involved in this mess.
Put politics aside, and hopefully we can get this thing fixed, but the Dems are using it as a political football, and so are the repubs in hopes to destroy the dems with it if they can. They both see it as a poltical game of war, and that is why it isn't going very good for the Americans or America at this time.
We can work through this hopefully, but America must unite in what is right again, and we must stay away from any plan that robs us of our freedoms, and will rob us of our righteous choice's in which would be made by us as citizens in our life, and this in concerning to all who will care for us or will care for us in the near future. America beware of both sides and their goals for America in which worships corporations & the love of greed over it's citizens anymore. We should demand better in this nation.
