So, Imagine that the company you work for held a poll, and asked everyone if they thought it would be a good idea to put a soda machine in the break room. The poll came back, and the majority of your colleagues said Yes, indicating that they would like a soda machine. Some said no, but the majority said yes. So, a week later, theres a soda machine.
Now imagine that Bill in accounting voted against the soda machine. He has a strong hatred for caffeinated soft drinks, thinks they are bad you you, whatever. He campaigns throughout the office to get the machine removed. Well, management decides OK, well ask again and again, the majority of people say Yes, lets keep the soda machine.
Bill continues to campaign, and management continues to ask the employees, and every time, the answer is in favor of the soda machine. This happens, lets say 35 times. Eventually, Bill says OK, IM NOT PROCESSING PAYROLL ANYMORE UNTIL THE SODA MACHINE IS REMOVED, so nobody will get paid unless management removes the machine.
What should we do???

Bill can sign up for the ACA - perhaps even get Medicaid, depending on which state he lives - same as the TP repugs who will lose their jobs after the elections in '14.

Bill then comes to understand that he controls exactly *nothing*.
