So Obamacare isn't quite the disaster we were told it would be. In fact, it's begininning to work very much like it's supposed to work, which isn't as good as it could be, but a shitload better than what we had before.
More people have coverage, which means the risk is spread thinner, which means the average cost goes down some, which means more people can get coverage, which means etc etc etc - gee it's almost as if there's some kind of Basic Principle Of Economics at work or something.
Anyway, The Commonwealth Fund did their survey, and guess what:
For the first time there are fewer working people without coverage.
For the first time, there are fewer working people struggling to pay their doctor bills.
For the first time, there are fewer working people putting off a visit to the doctor due to cost.
For the first fucking time - seems vaguely significant to me.
And yet it still seems like we've got a particular bunch of rat-bastard politicians trying to pull a very standard maneuver - where they fuck something up and then stand aside and say, "Hey look everybody - it's all fucked up. We need to trash this thing and start over"
("so we can take the credit for solving a problem we caused in the first fucking place" - that's the part you don't ever say out loud).
These people have no soul and no honor.
hat tip = Democratic Underground
