This chart by Columbia University Statistician Andrew Geldman pretty much sums it up. When the Congressional and Administrative idiots in Washington look at a chart like this and think that nothing more than a mandate for all Americans to buy into an already broken and overpriced system it’s beyond ignorant and partisan. It’s practically criminal. And once Obama signs this catastrophic mandate into law any remaining support I have for him is over. That’s $7681 per person, per year folks – sick or not. It’s embarrassing. All of the corporatist ass-clowns supporting the insurance and health care provider profits are an embarrassment to the nation. We should be insuring peoples health, not profits to shareholders.
I hate to say it, but when someone is elected into office simply because they represent a different party than the one they are currently pissed at (the incumbent)…and based on their race (yes, I said it and it’s true)…this was bound to happen.
