Why don't you want healthcare reform? You think our system of paying 3 times more than all other top countries pay, for less value, and lower life expectancies, is not in need of repair?

Remember, Obama's plan was originally a Republican plan, that they were happy with, until a Democrat re-introduced it.

The right also had a history of relying on the CBO to bolster their argument. That is, until the Obama's administration used the CBO to show how the new healthcare system can save money.

And semi-unrelated, I really DO pay attention to media that I do not agree with, including watching Fox once in a while. 90% of the time what I see and hear on the right simply serves to reinforce my liberal position on most things, but maybe 10% of the time my eyes are opened to an alternate perspective.

Did you REALLY watch the documentary that began this post, or did you just jump in with talking points, assumed to be contrarian to what you THINK the document says? Be honest....
