ObamaCare - as liberal as an orgy between Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter and Sean Hannity

There are liberals, and "liberals". It's the "liberals" who support ObamaCare - these are people who will vote democrat because family (etc) tradition dictates it, regardless of whether such a vote is in their interest. ObamaCare is no more liberal than a ménage a trois between Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Ann Coulter. Our allegedly "liberal" president could have promoted a healthcare program along the lines of other industrialized nations, and gotten the necessary input to craft it from scientific, medical, nursing etc. professionals and experts from within the support industries. Not a bit of it - Obama the "liberal" shut all these groups out of the discussion and enlisted the uber-rightwing Heritage Foundation - alongside input from big pharmaceutical corporations and the insurance industry. ObamaCare is a rightwing product, but because so many democrats still have their heads in the sand and equate "democrat" with "liberal" -  this rotting hairball of legislative effluent somehow made it onto the books. Meanwhile, conservatives, in need of a bete noir - pushed the blame on Obama by equating his administration with "liberalism"... which is clearly a farce.
