look, i get that americans kind of suck when it comes to "political traditions" and change. and i understand that this is a huge change that will take a while to implement. but look around, people. we need this change. unemployment is at a ridiculous level; and more importantly, a lot of people who have jobs (hi, america, my name is karen) only have part-time status - usually at more than one place - or work for a company that can't afford or doesn't offer health care for their employees. and seriously, this is not some crazy new radical idea. it's been in place in other countries - SUCCESSFULLY - for years. decades. even centuries, in some cases. bottom line is it works. and most importantly: PLEASE inform yourself with real facts, figures, and news about this bill. do not watch fox news and call this truth. do the research, find out the actual truth, and then if you still disagree, fine. but do so intelligently, instead of using the latest catch-phrase about what's "really going on" or how evil the supporters of this are.
ok, i'm down, and putting the soapbox away now...

The craziest part is I'm the only person I know who has read the healthcare bill. So when I come back to people with actual facts, they scoff or completely ignore what the truth is. Or they find some way to spin it into what it isn't. Look, I know you're afraid of change but that isn't going to stop it from coming. Get your head out of your ass and arm yourself with facts because that is the only to get out of this without looking like a HUGE tool.
These same idiots will be the first in line when they can go to the doctor without fear of bankruptcy...
