A new poll shows that 62% of Republicans think that government should “stay out of Medicare.”
I admit that I snickered at first. Quite heartily, in fact. So I certainly can’t hold it against anyone for doing the same.
But then I remembered that this kind of ignorance — which isn’t exclusive to Republicans, as 24% of Democrats and 31% of independents answered the same way — is precisely the reason why I’m so concerned that when this is all said and done, I’m still not going to have health care, and neither will millions of other Americans, including many who need it a lot more badly than I do.
this isn't actually funny
