16. How is expanding Medicare to all "starting from scratch"?
Obama might say he wants to be the last president to address this, but he won't be as all he's doing is reenforcing a system that already doesn't work.

He started out saying we're the only democracy that does not provide health care to its citizens, and it looks like he can end the speech by saying "and we will continue to be the only democracy that does not provide health care."

I'm sure the champagne is being opened at health insurance companies all over the country.

20. First you have to elect hard core progressives across the board to national office!
To get the degree of change you want - you have to win a majority of national elections with hard core progressives - we are no where near pulling that off.

Just be patient.

The Grand Scheme that is totally beyond our primitive comprehension will be unveiled soon, and you will drop to your knees in tears and fascination as the Glowing Orb Of Reason and Understanding Sweeps the Globe, filling us all with it's illumination of Knowing.

Or you can face reality that yeah, you just got shafted.

AGAIN.

23. Mandates.
Ugh. Sorry, but if they want to force me to hand over money to the corrupt insurance industry, they'll have to take me to court. I spoke with my family about this over the weekend and they were all supportive. We are ready to fight.

35. Welcome to the False Left/Right Paradigm.
Maybe, somehow, some way, people are going to start to see past it after tonight.

NEITHER Side, is on OUR Side.

36. With the "mandate" to buy a Romney type plan, I will go under financially
I may have to stop working all together now to survive.
I work my ass off and can't afford another $800 per month (for a high deductible plan I can't afford to use)... in all honesty, I fall about $50 a month more in debt as it is ... running on deficit.

I just can't afford to support an insurance executive with what I earn these days, they have expensive tastes.

Back to rice and beans and unemployment like when I was 18, only now I'm 45.
I can't believe I voted for Romney-care to finally finish me off financially.
