re: #460 Mattand

I’m trying to work through that, too. My girlfriend’s mother, who lives down south and watches Fox News 8 hours a day, insists that her doctor is saying the same thing.

Needless to say, I don’t believe one friggin’ word she is saying. She can be a very bigoted, hateful, narrow-minded monster on the best of days. Now picture that personality with a black Democrat running the country.

And at the end of the day: Republicans pushed for the personal mandate for nearly two decades until the scary black man said, “Let’s do it.”

I think it’s worth remembering that doctors are people too, with all the political biases that can entail. Until someone lays out actual, concrete ways that Obamacare is going to harm healthcare, I don’t buy it. Even if the person saying so is a doctor. Especially if they are a doctor, they should be able to give concrete examples when asked - and explain how this is different than the current status quo.
