Go out and talk to people about Obammacare. Most are worried, but want some sort of socialized care (remember, we have socialized medicine now).

And health care does not have the same reaction in the populace as guns. Guns as a symbol in American life are very powerful. Healthcare is not. I used the NRA as an example because it represents not the forces of moneyed class, but a true grass roots organization. It is narrowly focused on one task, and has resisted attempts by those on the right and left to wander into areas outside of that task.

Healthcare does not have that reaction. Even on this board, there are many who want and demand that someone else pay for top tier health care because it was “Promised” them.

Simply put, we will have single payer healthcare, with all of its horrors, soon. To many forces want it.

You are probably correct. Damn the bad luck. However, I still think the big business money is much less of an influence than it used to be.

About the time the death panels start denying grandpas surgery they may see the light.
