Actually have no idea what the health care system was like in the Soviet Union, but I really don't understand
conservative messaging on Obamacare. I'm less optimistic than many that people will learn to love it once they try it as our medical system is pretty fucked up and bullshit and Obamacare hasn't/isn't going to change that nearly enough. I do think conservatives will have plenty of opportunities to make genuine criticisms of it and make use of legitimate complaints people have with our medical system (whether or not those complaints have much to do with the changes), but the hysteria is just weird.
