"The President said last week that he doesn’t care what they call it"

The President said last week that he doesn’t care what they call it, as long as people get the benefits.

He might not, but I do. I and millions like me, who understand the monumental accomplishment of what he did, and our utter resentment of the assholes that have spent over a HALF BILLION DOLLARS, first to try and defeat the bill, and then to spread LIES about it.

They are willing to shut down the government, so that 30 MILLION AMERICANS will be denied healthcare.

THAT is their goal.

Mull on that.

How transformational is what President Barack Obama achieved?

Think about this…..healthcare is the final part of the social safety net that every other industrialized country enjoys..and, it took a Black man, Barack Obama, to ensure that, unlike with Social Security and Medicare, THIS part of the social safety net will BEGIN not excluding huge chunks of the American populace. Remember, when Social Security began, FDR excluded professions that ‘ coincidentally’ had large numbers of Blacks employed in them (this was snark – wasn’t no coincidence). Same thing for Medicare….65 was chosen as the age, because GUESS WHO had a shorter life expectancy when it was designed….yeah, you know the answer.

But, not OBAMACARE. From the beginning, it will help the broadest swath of Americans possible.
