Obamacare

Since the Supreme Court Ruling last week, I've seen some pretty durn good paranoid delusional fantasies popping up all over the internet. People screaming about how this is unconstitutional, and the justices were "bought". (Um, hello, Congress? Your corporate sugar daddy is on the phone.)

Do you know what I really want to hear from a conservative who is against Obamacare, aka, Making the Private Insurance Companies Play Fair? I want to hear a realistic, well-thought-out, viable solution to the alternative of continuing to allow millions of Americans to die every year of preventable causes because they can't afford to see a doctor.

Now, there are a couple of rules for forming your answer. "Kill 'em all and let God sort 'em out" is NOT an acceptable answer. Neither is anything that begins with the phrase, "Yeah, but, Obama..." NOPE! Disqualified. Paranoid delusional rants about microchipping all Americans before 2013 and the secret backdoor to Islamic law introduced in Obamacare are not allowed, either. So sorry!

When the GOP becomes more interested in providing us with some concrete, productive solutions that target the well-being of the majority of Americans, then I'll listen. But if all I hear coming from them is, "Wah wah wah, staying healthy is an assault on our civil liberties," well, I'm just gonna continue to tune them out.
