Exactly. Which is why we still have a fighting chance.

a fighting chance to fight for a crappy bill . . . typically no response from cheerleader PW to booyah’s points:

2) So of the remaining Americans, without employer assisted insurance, if you are truly middle class… there will be no subsidies for you… the subsidies are tied to the FPL, which is understandable. But once again the middleclass is screwed. And profit-driven killing machines will continue unfettered.

fight fight fight – to make shiite coverage from profit driven insurance oligopoly mandatory!

how degraded can you get? (D) captured pwogressives truly are political masochists.
