   America seems to be getting a bit tired of standing for all the bullshit   
   our politicians feed us.   
      
   For the record the groundwork for the Affordable Care Act was done by the   
   Democratic Senator from Montana, Max Baucus. He removed a single payer   
   solution from consideration on day one. The miserable son of a bitch was   
   bought and paid for by the healthcare industry and tailored the plan to   
   ensure their profits.   
      
   One happy outcome was Obama made him ambassador to China and we got rid of   
   the corrupt bastard.
