which went something like, "Hey
In another 100 years, you might be able to drink out of the same water fountain as they do
"
I'm one of those who possibly offended you in saying "ACA is not enough" Or, something like
we're too late in the game
we are in crisis mode
too many are going to continue to suffer beyond what you imagine, because we have no economic support brought on by the fact the insurance industry dictates when people have access
and we have no fucking jobs that could further sustain a middle class who can afford this shit.
Saying we MUST do better than the ACA is not the same as and "anti-ACA crusade". You can be offended until the cows come home because we have that here a lot. Too bad. What you CANNOT do is be serious that we have the time to continue further with any battle that ends with the American people more than in debt and escalating their status as debt slaves in a system in which Single Payer (Medicare for All) sees NO light of day UNLESS WE INSIST IT DOES NOW!!!
Does this mean I don't accept what I get under the ACA versus what we could have had with a public option? I get it very well, and I know that the compromising Democrats in the House who continue to grab their ankles and worry about their re-election campaigns have long forgotten their promised priorities as members of the legislative branch. They stopped doing that as soon as Barack Obama was elected.
You better hope like hell we live to fight this overhaul of the health care system with success. What we have so far has not stopped the corporate stampede in control of every politician's bankroll. Every day it's going to get harder and harder and harder and harder
