You act like liberals are thrilled with Obamacare. They're not. We simply look at the numbers (possibly as many as 40,000+ people in this country dying annually as a result of being uninsured) and realize that this is the best we are going to do (for the foreseeable future) in this currently right-wing-engineered country. Oh, and our preferred alternative/s would cost much less than the current system.

That's true. There are enough members of congress beholden to corporate interests and/or afraid of the right-wing media to make a better plan a political impossibility. So we ended up with a big giveaway to the insurance and pharmaceutical industries that'll help more people get health insurance. Money runs politics, and it's only getting worse.
