Okay, you're saying that the Dems are unable to come up with a good bill on their own. If we want something that works, get the Repubs involved. Fair enough.
I think they have every right to bitch about a horrible bill that they did their best to stop and spare the American people a lot of hardship.
Too bad no one was given time to read the fucking thing before they had to vote. Not all Dems were involved in the writing of the bill. That was done by a select few behind closed doors and no one was privy to what went in it. There were no sessions where everyone had input.
It was written by people who wanted to ensure that government would have unprecedented control over our lives and they threw in a few things about healthcare. It's not about helping people, it's about control.
Few were able to read and understand the entire thing. Remember Pelosi saying they had to pass it to see what was in it? Well, surprise, it sucks. The Dems could have joined the Repubs in insisting that they take time to come up with ideas that might actually work. If the goal was really improving the quality of healthcare, they would have done it that way.
Government now has authority over our health care. They have real time access to our money. They have us where they want us- completely at their mercy. That was the real goal and those who see that will continue to criticize this and try to repeal it.
How many Dems actually contributed anything to the bill? Very few. They had no more knowledge about it than the average person. They supported it out of party loyalty and nothing more. They repeated the bold lies Obama stated and once it passed and everyone started realizing what a mess it was, they stopped talking about it altogether.
It's a shame that it wasn't stopped. I hope it goes back to the supreme court because it was a shell bill, which was their sneaky tactic of stopping the Republicans in the House from killing it. All revenue raising bills must pass the house and senate. This one did not pass the house as it was written. They just emptied out a bill and refilled it with Obamacare. No way in hell should such an underhanded and sleazy tactic hold up in court.
