Because when people start getting good health care, first, they'll start figuring out that the government can be good for something, and start demanding competently-run, beneficial government.
Second, when people aren't scrambling and struggling just to be able to see a doctor, that's one less sword the fuckers will be able to hold at our throats - us peasants might start getting more rebellious...
They want to hold our health hostage to force us to bend over and behave. They want us to think that government can't do anything right, so we're more compliant with the corporate oligarchs and kiss their feet.

(1,601 posts)The repukes will rue the day they called it the curse word Obamacare. Once implemented and established like Medicare, and Social Security, Obamacare will be not a curse word but a defining into the future word that will keep Obama's name out in front like LBJ and FDR. The rightwingers might as well of put Obama on Mt Rushmore with their curseword Obamacare!

(14,058 posts)that Medicare is not a government program, that they never opposed it, and that they are "protecting" it.
Has anyone else noticed that in the last week, it is being referred to less and less as "Obamacare" and more often by the ACA title?

See,
they had a problem.
They wanted to Privatize Health Care in America,
and establish For Profit Corporations as the ONLY Gateway to Health Care.
They wanted to Stand Between the delivery of Health Care, and the American population.
They wanted a LAW that would force every American to pass through their gate and pay them a tithe for letting them pass through to actual health care.
Sorta like a BIG Toll Booth.
That way, they get to rake Their Cut straight off the TOP for doing absolutely NOTHING every time an American gets sick.
...but the Republicans could NEVER get something like that passed.
The Solution:
Get The Democrats to pass it for them.
Just like it took a Nixon to go to China,
it took The Democrats to Privatize Health Care.
Mission Accomplished!!!
It is "The Uniquely American Solution!"
You will know them by their WORKS,
not by their excuses.
