[QUOTE="JayJuanGee, post: 390235, member: 5330"] Surely we can have different opinions about what the people think, and whether the small group of people holding things up in the house represent the people or some narrower and more radical vision of america. If the people of the US are allowed to vote on something with accurate information, then generally, I think people would vote to have better health care in the US, like most industrial countries have, and not a system of health care that is only for the very rich. In fact, no one, even a feminist, should go bankrupt b/c of a health issues... even if the person may be of a "lower" class. In essence, it seems that a better health care system would strengthen America and its businesses. I am NOT sure if Obamacare does that exactly, but it has some additional protections for regular people. Now if we could lessen the influence of the drug and insurance companies in this equation about what the people want, then probably we would be talking true will of the people. Certainly, opinions on this forum may vary... and even families are divided over this issue of affordability of healthcare in America. But that Obamacare legislation had already passed three years ago and been approved by the Supreme Ct, about a year ago, and, maybe those kinds of questions of modifying Obamacare should be a separate debate from shutting down the USA govt.? Opinions may vary. [/QUOTE]
