You're not stopping to consider their opposition to all the content of Obamacare that doesn't actually exist. Its not enough anymore just to propose policy people want, you also have to not have people imagine policy they don't like.

When people actually understand Health Care Reform they support the individual provisions. Who wouldn't?

After Capt. Cook, in the British navy limes and sauerkraut were free, as was beer with meals (the water was pretty foul). The daily rum ration was such high proof the modern equivalent would be about a fifth a day.

Many British sailors had severe mental problems from running full speed 'tween decks and slamming their foreheads against the low beams while drunk.

Merchant seamen didn't generally have the same problems with scurvey (particularly in the late 19th century) because the voyages were much shorter.
