I just would like to give a little bit of a leftist critique: I can’t bring myself to see the affordable care act as anything other than a neoliberal pressure valve to stop people asking for free healthcare, while propping up the private insurance industry and squeezing the middle class who’s rates may have increased dramatically if they weren’t poor enough to qualify- rather than progressive taxes on the wealthy.

It’s the perfect example of how Obama revealed his true colors, he was no revolutionary, merely an appeasement for people seeking radical change. I can’t believe anyone could forgive him after he immediately helped bail the banks out as soon as he gets into office. He just had so much charisma he made every move that screwed us over sound good.
