Because people are stupid and Democrats have done a horrible job explaining what single-payer is.

Well, yeah, I mean I don’t know if they’re so deluded that they somehow believe they’re the first to think “WE HAVE THE POWER” or if it was a side effect of their parents constantly telling them that only they could do it.

Fair enough, doesn’t shift you from troll to human though.

Nevertheless, it DID win them the House, Senate and Presidency.

I’m betting your single and the only person on your insurance?

So, let’s get this straight, in another post on this thread you’re a freelancer who gets his insurance covered as a result of some nebulous negotiation with your employer. In this response you’ve been with the same company for 20+ years and have a pre-existing condition.

Republicans spent six years legislating and passing bills they -knew- wouldn’t become law. 50 times they tried repealing the ACA never to see it succeed.

Centrists are spineless pussies but we’ll still shoulder the dead weight and carry you into a more just society with us. Your welcome

people are really mad around here aren’t they? just read some of the replies to you and... i think they’re pretty mad about something but it’s hard to put my thumb on it... maybe it’s the four years straight of eating lies and losing to someone they believe to be an idiot.

And how much does your employer pay? Have you considered if they don’t have to pay for the majority of your heathcare, or the admins required to run it, you might *gasp* make more money?

it was also weird how much Univision paid for the blog names in the first place -
