[TBF]

1. And what's more

it's a good idea. Which may explain why repubs are against it.

2. Not according to our current president or presumptive nominee

they both think that insurance companies' right to make profits trump your right to health care.

3. Personally I feel water, health care, energy -

many of the major areas that are now privatized need to be owned and controlled by the people of the country.

It is interesting to note specifically in regard to health care that Obamacare has been a very big thing for the health care industry. In the area I live (fast-growing suburb of Houston) there are urgent cares literally going up on every corner. They know more people will be insured now so they are taking advantage by putting up more centers. They wouldn't do it if they didn't think they were going to make $$$ off it.

4. And they have supporters here

It's just sad.

5. It is soul-crushing that those rank-and-file citizens who should be squarely on the side of

the hoi polloi have jumped ship. I expect teabaggers and Fox Nation to cheer for corporate supremacy. But when self-identifying Dems and liberals are willing to embrace the Heritage Foundation's "solution", all is pretty much lost.
