Yes, I want my SS and Medicare, because I paid for them.
Yes, I want American children to have free public education because when I was their age, adults at the time paid for my education.
Yes, I want top notch, well-trained First Responders because last week, my power was out for 5 days and lives were saved because of them.
Yes, I want paved roads, an FAA to inspect my planes, regulations on bankers so that they don't blow my savings on hookers and blow.
Yes, I want a Single payer system, but given that 48% of my fellow Americans are easily manipulated, I will settle for the ability to buy health insurance without being pre-screened for pre-existing conditions.
So, Yes. I Want Stuff!!

(1,289 posts)at a price I can AFFORD on my salary. $850 a month on a $34k salary doesn't cut it, there's nothing left to live on after that, I'm hoping to see a much better rate offered in 2014 when the ACA is fully implemented. I don't mind paying for it, we just have to live also, utilities, groceries etc etc etc
