re: #72 Interesting Times

And much as I’m loathe to say it, Glenn Greenwald might have a point after all - far too many American voters in the states that matter are insular and willfully ignorant and utterly incapable of caring about an issue until it has a direct and immediate impact on their lives. Thus, Russia = “meh, whatever”, but threatening to take away healthcare might finally get them to pay attention and bother voting against the GOP.

Remember, before the ACA there was about 85% healthcare coverage, and if it goes away we are likely to return to that neighborhood. For too many people unless they happen to be in the 15% not covered they just wont care.
