Robbie, good points. I'll remind you that so-called 'obamacare' is actually the baby of the right-wing Heritage Foundation, and every proponent of that plan has claimed it would save us all kinds of money. But in fact, it has been a sloppy wet kiss to Big Pharma and Big "Health" from the get-go.
Point being, the lying regarding this plan has been a two-decade, bipartisan bullshit fest.
This is yet another reason that actual progressives and liberals are pissed off at Obama: a real progressive would have fought tooth-and-nail for single payer. Instead, just like the last half-dozen or so presidents, he's governed as just another right-center corporate whore.
