Aria :".. We The People are just units of measure to these people. "

Yes , that's true that we are units of measure to these Congresscritters , because we allow it. They take out the individuality and treat us as a commodity.
We are measured by the thousands or hundered thoudsands by a number, and listened to only as non-descript "voters" .
As in the old sci-fy program "The Prisioner", we are trapped into a community and conformity by remote controlled sentrys (think : drone )system
until we confront the control masters by invadeing them from within.
"Prisoner #6 " never accepted the control because they treated him just as a number , never with an identity as an individual.
THey took away his humanity and character .
Character and individuality matter in a republic , especially in a democratic republic ; he was considered a "Rebel " .
when treated as a number ,.. not so much !!
The program of "The Prisoner" was never commonly accepted by the TV viewing public because it was before its time .
Guess What ??
It was a pre-curseor of today !!

The people have every reason to have a rebellion against Obamacare. First, the entire plan was based on lies...it never would have passed Congress if the truth was known. Second, Obamacare is based on the premise of a one size fits all policy that cannot be customized to fit needs and budgets. Lastly, the costs. Because of the full bells and whistles required for all Obamacare policies, they will be more expensive and the mandated local rating will also balloon costs. Younger healthier consumers are running from Obamacare which will also skyrocket rates.
