Obamacare was a step in the right direction - but still a miserable compromise


  Much maligned Obamacare was a step in the right direction - but just a timid, compromised step. Here President Obama was abused and maligned while desperately trying to compromise with Tea Party Republicans -still inspired by Ayn Rand's " Virtue of Selfishness ".

   But the compromise itself was tragic and , in fact, betrayed Senator Ted Kennedy's progressive vision of health care for all as a basic human right.

  They could have just extended the Medicare system. And it should have included free dental care too. Why is dental health foolishly separated from general health ?
