It is apparent that the Wrongheaded Right-Wing Republicans are willing to stop at almost nothing to try to repeal Obamacare. Sure, the Tea Party tend to be against it, as are most diehard conservatives. However, most people support the new health care law's provision against denying care based on "pre-existing conditions". It is disgusting that HMOs and insurance companies of all kinds keep raising rates and keep enriching their top executives while the majority of people's health and finances suffer. It is also a disgrace that millions of Americans can't afford health coverage and others who have it can't risk getting sick. Obamacare is far from perfect. In fact, in my view it doesn't go far enough in the "Single Payer" direction . On the other hand, it at least tries to do something about healthcare inequities and insurance co. abuses in this country. The GOP intend to continue skyrocketing insurance premium increases, which few can afford. American political leaders in general and the elected GOP in particular don't seem to give a damn if you have no health insurance or inadequate coverage; so long as we don't have alleged 'Socialistic healthcare'. What we have is a broken system, which could potentially literally bankrupt both the government and the majority of citizens. Whether out of ideological zeal, enmity toward Democrats, a strategy to unseat Obama in the nest election, or just plain being ornery, the Republican plan (if there is one) is against the best interests of the nation and the majority of the citizenry. (tbc?)
