Ok, yeah, I know.

But honestly? I know PD holds the title of most jaded, cynical pessimists on the block, but part of Discordia is not settling for absolutes when it comes to judging things. There ARE positives to this, even if considered slight. I'm thinking of the garage mechanic who gets cancer, et al.

You fuckers need to stop finding things in this law that you like. It's really spoiling my cynical mood right now.

You also can't be denied for pre existing, nor can you be dropped when you get sick. Plus, ins cos have to use a percentage of profits towards preventative care.

We Holy Men™ refer to that as a "reach-around".

"Billy, when I say that ethics is our number one priority and safety is also our number one priority, you should take that to mean exactly what I said. Also quality. That's our number one priority as well. Don't look at me that way, you're in the corporate world now and this is how it works."

And now we just need to get patients to SEEK preventative care.

No matter how the Supreme Court rules today, Ann Romney's tap-dancing hobby horse will still get better health care than the majority of Americans and Ann will be able to write it off.

Her minions have been posting on facebook that the horse was THERAPETIC because she has some DISEASE and we're A BUNCH OF MEAN OLD POOPY HEADS for making fun of A WOMAN WITH A DISEASE.

Well, I think most of those things are off set by the fact that subsidized healthcare means we will probably never get single payer healthcare.

Glittersnatch would be a rather unfortunate condition, if a halfway decent troll name.

I disagree.

My cynical eye sees the screeching and struggle as an indication that our society is changing.

One interesting note:  The penalties for not obeying the individual mandate have been defined by the court as a "tax".  We now have punitive taxation.

Ho ho ho!  That'll NEVER come back to haunt us.

Nothing new. Stretches back at least to the New Deal. Prolly further.
