Why does it always have to be a Democrat/Republican, Left/Right, Liberal/Conservative thing with everyone? That's why politics doesn't work in this country. No body really cares about the goal/task/problem at hand. They are so consumed with party affiliation bull****.
The fact is, there has been a huge problem with healthcare coverage in one of the richest countries in the world. Citizens have been screaming for something for a long time, so when someone comes up with something, it's criticized. Yet, the same people criticizing an new ideas, don't seem to come up with anything themselves.
I'm not a defender of Obamacare by any means. It has flaws. But I call people out on this all the time that constantly criticize it, I ask them, "so what is your plan?"
I wish we could stop all the "tow the party line" bull**** and have congress, the president and all the big-wigs out there, just come together (bi-partisan) and figure something out for the "citizens". That is the most important thing. Do it for the good of the people and stop with all the crap.
