Sorry Senator McConnell, you are wrong again. The product was just fine. The sales job was lousy. Americans enjoy some of the benefits of the law. The Tea Party misses the boat on the facts...

Why Republicans? Why?

To repeal some of the consumer protections would be a mistake. I think it's time for the Democrats to really get the message out. Okay, here is why the insurance coverage is mandatory.   

EVERYONE CAN NOT BE DENIED COVERAGE! 

This is a HUGE accomplishment of this law. Thousands of Americans suffer from conditions that insurance companies have DENIED coverage. This is unethical. Everyone has a right to health coverage. How else will this be accomplished?

I still don't understand why seven out of ten Oklahomans passed this state constitutional amendment. Isn't this the USA? Where we have the first amendment? The freedom to follow your own beliefs? This is a slap in the face to the Muslims that reside in Oklahoma. To combat radical fundamentalism, we need to embrace the moderate Muslim face. What is a bigger rejection of radical fundamentalism then acceptance of moderation? We would be sending a much larger message to Al Qaeda by acceptance of Islam and Muslims in our country. This passage of referendum 355 plays right into their propaganda. Don't you get it Oklahoma? You are feeding into the radical hatred. You are not solving the problem. You are making it worse...
