I also have no doubt at sometime in the future MFA will be the law of the land. Many hurdles to be jumped over, but it will happen. Given time and when a majority of Americans are for it, want it. It will pass with pretty much bipartisan support then.

Americans were ready for Medicare and wanted it. Medicare votes in Congress – Over 60% of the American Public was in favor of Medicare before it was introduced to congress in 1965.

House – Democrats 237 AYE 48 NAY – Republicans 70 AYE 68 NAY
Senate – Democrats 57 AYE 7 NAY – Republicans 13 AYE 17 NAY

Compare the ACA to Medicare when it was introduced to congress – Only 35% of the American Public was in favor of the ACA and 58% against.

House – Democrats 220 AYE 36 NAY – Republicans 0 AYE 179 NAY
Senate – Democrats 60 AYE 0 NAY – Republicans 0 AYE 39 NAY

Medicare, pretty much a two party affair, pretty much bipartisan. The ACA, only a one party affair. I was really amazed the Democrats would go against the majority of Americans wishes. But they did, then came November 2010.


It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.
