"Obamacare is a classic example of how a really good idea is perverted by The Corporate State. Universal Health Care in a Modern Industrial State should be a Civil Right.
Obama, who is not a Liberal but a Center/Right Corporatist, faithfully promised a Public Option throughout the entire election, yet dropped it within months of getting elected. That was via the Insurance Industry because they knew that most folks would take the PO over their bullshit polices.
Said industry also help fund the Astroturf organizations that took over the early tea Party movement, switching them from a TARP related focus to an anti-Obamacare focus, giving Obama 'political cover' to dump the Public Option.
But this also had the effect of bringing all the loons in that movement to the fore, creating the most gridlocked Congress since the 1850's.
As I have said, "I believe The Corporate State has learned The Hitler Lesson, that once a political radical grasps the levers of power, you can no longer control him with money. [It'll be a 'him' every time] That is why they ran all of the loons the GOP base favored off the road with cash early on. Mittens was always a sacrificial candidate. The Corporate State is perfectly happy with that smart accommodating black chap.""
