Read the comments. One is posted by a man whose father was a professor there. He is Jewish. This is pertinent to the article.

While we're very happy to have you in the Gulch and appreciate your wanting to fully engage, some things in the Gulch (e.g. voting, links in comments) are a privilege, not a right. To get you up to speed as quickly as possible, we've provided two options for earning these privileges.
The part about "terrorism" is problematic. The word "terrorism" has almost no meaning, so they need to talk about specific crimes and what Michelle Obama did in connection with all this. It has the appearance of someone digging up any negative association to attack her for political reasons.
before, adding in coverages with free annual exams, reduced prescription costs, were offered by the discretion of one's employer wanting to give an employee a BENEFIT not a need. now we live in a world where everything is a need and a right. insane

This is only an issue for people with no money. They'll have trouble affording things no matter what "system" is in place. When I was broke 20 years ago, I would have been happy w/ whatever crappy charity was available. I don't get why people are so indignant that an effort to provide healthcare to the poor, outside of having them present at the ER, isn't that great.
Obamacare was never about helping the poor....
They didn't socialize the entire industry, but they did socialize the ways we're allowed to insure against sickness-- in other words we sort of eliminated medical "insurance" b/c you can't call it insurance if it protects against things that already happened. This is something I think we were going to have to do anyway to insure against non-accident sicknesses as genetic testing gets more predictive.
I am confident my Congresswoman, who was involved in earlier healthcare initiatives and on the periphery of PPACA, was entirely focused on helping the middle class and poor with PPACA. I suspect that was true for most people. It was not a power grab. They had to sell it as a program to help the middle-class manage their lives, which is a very corrosive attitude. The cost of people turning a segment of their lives over to someone else is huge and hard to calculate.
How many people realize that health plans provided by your employer, will now be taxed as income under the ACA?
Maybe "terrifying" would have been a more appropriate word, but the demeaning, threatening behavior cannot be excused, as it eventually devolves into terror, as has been shown perpetually throughout history. Mao, and the Cultural Revolution, which was just a systematic erasing of history and art. Fascism. It all stems from using fear as a weapon. Terrorism.
Regarding terror, terror is a feeling. If "terrorism" just means using fear as a weapon, all warfare is terrorism. This goes back to the Art of War and is true today. You need to make the enemy not know what's coming next and be freaked out. To me terrorism is a meaningless word.
