Let's map this out thus far, just to see the insanity at play here:
-Republicans, in an attempt to defeat single payer/universal care which they call "socialism," invent the mandate plan which is the "free market" solution
-Until Obama adopts that very same plan at which point THAT now becomes "socialism" magically, and all the so-called conservatives now oppose it with every ounce of their being
-After attempting to repeal it literally 41 times and then threatening to send the country into an economic depression if it's not repealed or delayed (until it can be repealed), these so-called conservatives are now magically outraged when it does launch and people aren't able to sign up for a program which they want to never happen.
??? Um...
-Now the latest outrage is that, under this plan that none of them want to happen, some people aren't able to keep their insurance that they had. As opposed to the Republican plan, which does not exist. Thus, the people who refuse to guarantee you insurance coverage of any kind--much less the plan you have now--are upset that you can't keep the plan you have now.
Therefore, if you lose your current insurance plan because of Obamacare, this is an example of how socialism/liberalism is a failure.
If you lose your current insurance plan because you lose your job, can't afford it or have a pre-existing condition, this is an example of the triumph of "capitalism" and "conservatism."
Yeah, it really is just that f***ing stupid.
And yet the media (save for a few) continues to report "both sides" of this, as if there are two sides.
