Dems getting sick of Obamacare

This is a piece by A.B. Stoddard at The Hill.

It is a short item that reviews what we've already discussed at length that ends:
Now Democrats hope a better website, more enrollees, some bipartisan fixes and a second affirmative Supreme Court decision can save the law before Hillary Clinton or another Democratic nominee has to finesse a position on it two years from now. If not, these four years are just the first in what could be decades before the Democratic Party is cured of its healthcare ills. 
Commenters are more interesting than the article. Goodness, the commenters have at it over there telling the impact of ACA on their lives already. And yet, after all the cogent discussion there are still some beholden to the plan and to their political party. It is quite amazing to behold. And it forces me to acknowledge that pretty much everybody that I know personally here in Denver will ignore all they are told otherwise and stick to their guns as does poor Luke over there in comments. He is just that impervious, and so are they.

But that is all so unhappy, and far apart from the holiday spirit pervading the the whole season. So here is something instead that caused me to burst out laughing on sight. Seen on Twitter, a place that is not entirely awful and shows good humor still lives. I heard today on some ridiculous holiday advice segment, forget about trying for that perfect self-made Christmas card -- they do not exist. With no words at all, this disproves that position.

Oh, they're not at all unhappy about Obamacare.

They're mostly convinced it's a website or roll-out problem, or that the GOP or the proles are just bitching about it too much and if they'd all just shut up and eat their godammned broccoli it'd all be fine.

What is it about omelets you don't understand, people?

One of those guys looks like NSA leaker Snowden. The one with the white turtle neck.

Islamists look at the picture and say: "These people are going to be easy to beat." After they get done laughing.

I've never understood the hysteria over medical care and insurance.

My viewpoint is that once you are dragged into that system (before and after Obamacare), you're fucked.

Your bank account will be drained. You assets will disappear. Control of your body will pass over to "professionals."

My viewpoint has always been that it's best to find a way to stay out of that system, rather than to obsess over how to exploit it. In fact, I'd rather die than have my life taken over by the medical and insurancer systems.
