If the country is beyond bankrupt already (well over 12 trillion) and is in danger of collapsing if China, Japan and others choose to stop financing our debt, what's the point of even having an Obamacare plan legislated?

Like Medicare and Medicaid, it'll be bankrupt in 10 years or less anyway. And people will have nothing.

It's a paper victory only, lasting till maybe 2012 at most, so the democrats can say: "Look! We passed something!!"
But it's a paper and meaningless victory, except for purposes of political manipulation.

I don't see how even the most hardcore Democrat could possibly support it.

The people want the economy fixed. Democrats are fixated on Obamacare, Cap and Trade, and amnesty for illegals. It's a complete disconnect.
