It seems there is a serious generation gap in this debate..
all the folks from our parents generation are pissed off, where as most of us are rather cool about it, even relieved.
I don't get it? What are they so affraid of? Have the misinformation jockeys and mass media spin doctors utterly succeeded? Why are our parents so pissed off that this HealthCare Reform passed? Didn't they realize our country needs reform? Did they realize they have been paying ridiculously high amounts of money for healthcare? Don't they understand that millions of uninsured Americans cost the taxpayers MORE money through expensive emergency room visits and so we as americans are paying for it one way or the other? SHIT!!
Even my folks are caught up in this shit and they are not exactly rightists
My mother was poor. We were poor. We didn't have any fucking health insurance for years until she got a better job.. she paid for hospital bills from my early childhood up until middle school, she just switched to an upgrade job as a University professor/coordinator and now she is paying more for her insurance than before, and yet she is pissed off at the reform bill passing? WTF?
My pops is a total lowlife scamming SSI/Disability for over a decade now, saying he is too crazy to work (ironically now he has become too crazy too work) and even he was pissed off about this, that motherfucker doesn't pay shit to anyone!
why is everyone so pissed off? I really don't get it..
It sucks to live in a time of serious social reform, all the assholes come out of the wood work.. this is the same climate around the Civil Rights Act.
