Obama Health Care Law Gave Medical Coerage to 2.5 Million Young Adults
====================================================
Nothing was given to 2.5 million young adults. They were forced to purchase insurance on their own or go onto their parents policy. Those who are happy about this, who think it's a victory, refuse to realize that we could have gotten healthcare coverage for everyone and cheaper but for their selling out for so little back.
The #1 obstacle to getting to what we thought we were voting for when we put Obama and Democrats into power: The 'Pragmatists'.
Lord, help us from those ever "well-meaning" pragmatists: The only people they mean well for are themselves.
We hear about "pragmatism" a lot from Obama's 'most ardent supporters'. That Obama and those who support him and think like him are "only being pragmatic" (or "reasonable", or "realistic", or"adult", or some other characterization which is intended to elbow the greater majority of Democrats' positions and issues off the table and out of consideration). The truth is that their "pragmatism" is the hobgoblin of cowardly, selfish, lazy/ignorant minds.
'Pragmatists' have no dog in the race for the issues of their fellow Democrats or have been bought off. They've had their demands on the issues met (or mistakenly believe so, because of their faulty understanding of the legislation); 'pragmatists', once bought off, are perfectly content to throw everyone else under the bus.
'Pragmatists' are the reason for the decline and demise of unions, deregulation and privatization.
Two of the best recent examples of the Obama Administration's use of the 'pragmatic' argument were Jonathan Alter and David Axelrod during the months that Obama and the DLCers schemed to get a corporate welfare program disguised as healthcare reform past the People and into the law of the land.
