That seems to be the thinking I keep coming across in the forums I peruse. People who pay for Obamacare are jealous of people who have better healthcare on Medicaid for free. People too young for Medicare are jealous of seniors who do have it.

I'm beginning to think that most people are against health care for all just because they think the other guy might somehow get a better deal!
