Obamacare As Pseudo Socialism

OBAMACARE CAN BE FIXED; its just a matter of the details worked out. Everybody knows that, even the republicans who are comparing Obamacare to the end of the world. Yes,its a bureaucratic nightmare so far, but so is everything new a mess at the beginning. The website will be fixed, eventually... All these people who are losing their health insurance will be taken care of, although its likely to take a mountain of red tape to do it. Government always seems to choose the least efficient way of doing things. But in the end, everyone will be insured. With regard to capitalistic free enterprise health insurance in America: hasn't it had over two hundred years to work properly? And, whether it has ever worked properly in the past, and rest assured it hasn't, it certainly wasn't working properly immediately prior to Obamacare. Not with forty million Americans uninsured. For Obama to fail to anticipate that the insurance companies would drop coverage of their customers in response to Obamacare is hard to believe to the point of being incredible. How else can you describe this executive debacle other than incompetent? A tremendous disappointment to the real socialists of Amrica, Obama is. To whatever degree conservatives are disappointed in Obama, liberals are even more disappointed. His watered down version of socialized medicine completely misses the point; that you cannot leave a bad system in place, a corporate dominated system, and try to improve it with government intervention. The corporations will find ways of abusing and manipulating the weakly socialistic Obamacare, such as, dropping customers and blaming it on Obamacare, when all they had to do was to upgrade the existing customers. If you're going to have socialism, make it real socialism. The government must implement an entirely new system, a single payer system, superior to the one it replaces.
