Perceived? Perceived??? How about it’s already screwed me over with a 50%+ premium increase. It was just fine until they screwed with it...

Well, not exactly. They screwed with it and failed to fully explain to the American people that the present system, while the best in the world, was unsustainable, but what they wanted to do wasn’t designed to fix what was wrong with the program.
The math they used, to then explain rationing, end of life issues, millions of additional insured, and the really obvious insurance demands that couldn’t possibly be demanded of a viable profitable company could not be found on this planet.
So, instead of honest and open discussion, of CUTS and CHANGES, they just figured Americans are stupid, but not so stupid as to buy their brand of manure, so they were going to have to just shut up and shovel it down our throats, and instead of cuts, we get trillions more spent trying to hide the fact that medicare and medicade were on course to bankrupt the country.
The race was between affordable housing and medicare/medicade, the dems were blindsided, because affordable housing collapsed the economy first.
