It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

Maybe it has something to do with their completely moronic approach to topics like birth control and other related topics. Other things like wanting to pull funding for planned parenthood when in reality all of the government funding goes to a completely separate part from that of abortion and provides millions of women with proper healthcare. No the republicans can't get their heads out of their collective asses to understand something simple like a group that does one thing they might disagree with can also do a lot of good stuff as well. It's a lot easier to rile up the mouth breathing fundamentalists by saying they are going to pull funding from evil planned parenthood because of abortions while completely ignoring the fact that it is illegal for that funding to go towards any abortions.
Ah yes the party of small government and keep the government out of our lives. Unless of course it goes against our fundamentalist Christian beliefs.
I don't think most folks 'think this shit is a good idea.' It would be nice if family/neighbors, etc. would all come together and meet needs, but that is not the world we presently live in.
We don't need to let affordable healthcare 'slide' we need to fix the system. Doctors should be well off, even rich. The problem is that there are entirely too many folks in non-provider, administrative rolls making more than doctors.
