I identify very well with the conservative side of politics, though to deny your people health care is just disgusting. A government should provide education, protection (police, fire, military), sanitation services, at least basic health care and several other basic services. A healthy population works better and is more productive.

Good points, and to be clear, I would like a single payer plan and/or a public option and/or medicare for all.
If the current plan has any chance whatsoever, it is through a simple majority vote, through reconciliation.
At that point why the fuck is Obama selling out so fucking far to the right, and the insurance companies?
I like Obama, and I am 100% behind healthcare reform, but I don't worship him. He was the better option at the time.
If he grows a pair, maybe he'll get re-elected, but if he plays so far to the center right that he loses his base, he has no chance. He will not win any support from the right, no matter what he does - even if it is exactly what they claim they want him to do.
