The message from the Republican and tea party extremists so far has been; Freedom and liberty means you don’t have to buy health insurance, and the poor shouldn’t get health care unless they pay for it.
This twisted down the rabbit hole conservative utopia resembling something out of Road Warrior is building public support, believe it or not. The message in unambiguous:
“As part of our pledge, we said that we would bring up a vote to repeal health care early,” Representative Fred Upton of Michigan, the incoming chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, said on “Fox News Sunday.” “I think you’re going to see the fight on Obamacare across the board in the House and the Senate to try to de-fund the Obamacare bill and to start over,” Mr. Graham said, adding that he was working with Senator John Barrasso, a Wyoming Republican, on legislation to allow states to opt out of the requirement that individuals obtain health insurance and of the expansion of Medicaid, the government health insurance program for the poor.
We'll see how brave the public is once the net has been removed.
