Repealing Obamacare; the Corporate Solution and the People’s Solution

Repealing Obamacare; the Corporate Solution and the People’s Solution

We’ve always known there was a corporate solution to Obamacare and a people’s solution.

Today an outline of the corporate solution is on the table.  And it has been presented by the people in the Republican Party who would see things the corporatist’s way. So we are not surprised, except that it is so transparently blatant, as if to dare Donald Trump to say anything dismissive about it.

And as Kipling said in his poem “Tommy Adkins”…”…you know Tommy sees…”,  the government needs to know that the people know an entire tier of federal employment was added to account for much of that cost increase. Bearing those poor saps no special ill-will, we all need to know they are all looking for employment elsewhere, .especially the front end designers and managers like Jonathan Gruber, who had his own Tommy Adkins moment when he crowed about how it important it was to fool us[…]
