Why people vote against their own best interests

Wow. Maybe, just maybe, it is the arrogance of those pushing those opinions that turn people off.

The CBO pointed out that premiums don't go down under the Senate bill. So this is a non-starter.

It's very simple, really. Most average, working people don't want ANY more government interference in their lives than they already have right now. Using the analogy of the French Revolution, it's a matter of opinion as to how much better the average man did under the Revolutionaries. Monarchy didn't murder them by the thousands, try to outlaw their religion, and inflict a totalitarian system without checks and balances upon every aspect of their lives. Maybe the common working person knows something the elites don't ?

Great theory, if only it were true. People not only dont like having politicians tell them whats best for them, People also know nonsense when they see it. In terms of the recent 2000 plus page health Care bill before congress that on one had the time to read before passage, it did not take an elite political scientist to see that chaos would ensue upon passage. Think distended city or state government in charge of hospital care. Politicians love spending other peoples money.

Perhaps the real story is how the writer, the BBC, and other sectors of elite opinion prefer not to question their unshakeable faith that they WOULD be better off with Obamacare. I know if I was unborn again I'd want to escape its "benefits."

We should all support the bill:
