With Obamacare, "
the American people have had an unfiltered look at what progressive policy means to them, and they don't like it,"

In a column reeking of desperation on par with a kid hoping for a unicorn under his Christmas tree, the Washington Post’s Ryan Cooper compiled a list of reasons “Why millennials will come around on Obamacare.”
Aside from a desperate lack of understanding of health policy and how
people work, the second reason Cooper lists stands out. He writes,
“Going without health insurance is morally wrong.”
I’ll give you a minute to let that sink in.

These are the same people who spent the better part of the last
half-century proclaiming “government can’t legislate morality” on any
issue remotely moral. [snip]
