The Logic of Being Against Obamacare?

The problem with the logic of being against Obamacare is that it is in the present day UNCIVILIZED. The reason it is presently uncivilized is that most (if not all) developed nations all ready take care of ALL their citizens health care needs as a general rule.

So, that makes the U.S. look in comparison uncivilized.

If you look at how this country started it was based upon the idea of rugged individualism. But, let's explore what rugged individualism really means:

Basically, it means if you are strong and intelligent you might survive but if you are anything else at any time you will not survive.

And this is where Republicans are around Obamacare. They feel if you aren't making enough money to care for yourself or buy your own insurance you should just suffer and die. This is why the world presently thinks the U.S. (in regard to healthcare) has always been uncivilized especially since around World War II. Oh, they love the idea of cowboys enduring all sorts of pain and hardship and becoming successful even as they are horrified to study about just how many die along the way (both directly and indirectly from this path.

In the end Obamacare is only for about 15% of the people who have no health care coverage at all unless you count Emergency care in emergency rooms as health care.

I might call it "Last ditch catastrophic health care that might be used if you are going to die otherwise." But I wouldn't call that health care because you have to be close to death before you will do something like that.

So, Obamacare is about being civilized enough as a nation to take care of our own when they get injured or sick. And from this point of view being against Obamacare is demonstrating that you are uncivilized (at least in the present civilized world compared to 150 to 300 years ago). Everyone knows Obamacare is not perfect just better than the crazy system of deprived uncared for people dying after suffering a long time that we had before.

Reducing the sufferings of one's people is a symptom of being civilized at this point in time on earth.
