I just watched Breaking Bad again and had a revelation that the series was a shilling for Obama care. The first two seasons are a nothing more than a vehicle for absurd hyperbole indicting the health insurance industry. It's right out of the swamp's playbook. Incite the masses with a polarizing fiction—in this case, the fiction that the health insurance industry is in dire need of reform—then save them with sweeping legislation, which is really a Trojan Horse for special interests.

The series portrays "a public school teacher with cancer and a DEA agent maimed on the job as unable to get the care they need paid for by their plan. The audience is left clamoring for 'CHANGE' while the insurance lobby gets a torqued up bill passed. One that lands all the most expensive patients on the government's tab (in safety net plans funded by the tax payers) and everyone else's premiums increase by 200-300%.

It's crazy, after a full scale 2 year indictment of the health insurance industry, the Affordable Care Act is passed and the series never touches on the theme again.
