In the perverse Ayn Randian philosophy that the likes of the Koch brothers espouse, theres talk of pursuing ones own interests only. But in actuality what they have told their rubes is that they must sacrifice their economic interests in service of ideology. In other words 1%ers preach cultural adherence and ideological purity to their followers while they themselves siphon every public asset and good to themselves. Its a faith-based heist of the commonweal.

President Obama co-opted Ayn Rands idea of rational self-interest, turned it on its head, and the Republican Kochsters HATE him for it. The ACA challenges the ability of the Bircher puppetmasters and their corporate ilk to control their rubes over the single most important and intimate aspect of their lives; healthcare. But worse for them it has electoral implications, at least in the near term. Kochsters know it, we know it, and ordinary Americans will soon know it too. As VP Biden said, its a BFD, positively for ordinary Americans, and negatively for the Kochsters.

Healthcare is ground zero. Its a singular necessity of life in which no one can live vicariously through another persons. In an airplane emergency if your oxygen mask IS working you hold on to yours for dear life regardless of whether the passenger in seat 53Gs mask is working or not. Thats Rational Self-Interest. You cant bullshit people about what they are getting or not getting. Healthcare is personal. Too intimate. No one ever forgets what that experience is like or costs. The impact is visceral. The numbers dont lie. People know that they paid $1500 out of pocket last year for an MRI and now it is covered under ACA.

Earlier this year I paid copay as I have done for every mammogram since turning forty. Last month I got a refund check. I shouldnt have been charged because of Obamacare. Cant fudge or massage that fact. And that is what Republicans fear. Cruz called it a sugar high. We call it OBJECTIVE REALITY, or as Colbert says Reality has a well-known liberal bias. That is why the 1%ers see the Affordable Care Act as the Most Dangerous legislation ever. If people LIKE it, the Kochsters cant take it away from them, Evah!
