Obamacare Is Not Some Left-Wing, Socialist Plot; It Is a Republican Plot
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/29341-obamacare-is-not-some-crazy-lef=
t-wing-socialist-plot=20
The Daily Take Team, The Thom Hartmann Program: Republicans have been pushi=
ng Obamacare-like health-care principles for more than 40 years. Why, in 20=
15, are Republicans suddenly so opposed to policies they have crafted and s=
upported in years past? Because today, the GOP isn't operating on principle=
; it's operating on politics.

Susan Sered, Susan Sered's Blog: It's easier to make a case for abolition t=
