No Harry, that is not democracy.

Democracy is when all eligible parties participate equally in the proposal, development, and creation of a law through debate and negotiation.

In the case of the Affordable Care Act, or Obamcare, it was developed behind closed doors by one political party with no input from any other party. Other political parties were specifically excluded.

It was also rammed through without being read by anyone in the House or Senate, on an inappropriate procedure by Democrats to ensure they got the party line votes they needed.

That is not democracy, and that is why we are seeing increasing civil disobedience against this tyrannical government.

Now people are seeing it for what it is, there is growing dissatisfaction amongst citizens. Reports are now coming in that a family of 4 applying for insurance through the Obamacare exchanges are receiving quotes of $1000 per month with $12,000 deductible. And that is for the basic coverage.

That is ridiculous.
