He is aware of the problems with Obamacare, but like most of his ilk, the good intentions are what matters. (As in the “war on poverty.”)
I asked him if he thought it was okay that Obama lied repeatedly to get this thing passed, (”If you like your plan, you can keep your plan.”) His response, again, was the typical liberal knee-jerk, end justifies the means excuse: “Well, he had to do that in order to get it passed.” In other words, the good intentions of getting insurance, and therefore healthcare services for the millions of under-served poor are reason enough to lie in order to accomplish this. The fact that it wasn’t accomplished, and, based on even a cursory study of the plan, can never be accomplished by Obamacare is irrelevant. He WANTED to get healthcare for everyone. Liberals WANT to end poverty. Unfortunately, the policies they use to achieve their desired ends have all been utter failures.
And you choose to associate with such a person? Aren’t you afraid that some of those jibes of irrationality will rub off on you? :)
