re: #661 RogueOne

What is it going to take for you to understand the Insurance lobby loved this bill?

What is it going to take for you to understand that they can simultaneously be working with Democrats to get the most possible out of the bill, while also using lies and misinformation to turn the entire debate into a complete and utter shitstorm?

Obviously they accomplished their goals, because riling up the teaparties ensured that the public option had absolutely NO shot of being implemented. Because they were so successful at getting the plebes riled up, we ended up with Richard Nixon’s healthcare reform. And it’s a direct result of the climate of fear created by their misinformation campaign.
