We didn't purchase our house because the pools are free and golf is free, etc., but it was all part of the reason we wanted and still want to live here. This to us is a minor bleep on the radar, but it is important to many and I respect that.
Sorry, bad analogy. You can't equate an amenity with a newly organized health care CHOICE. The equivalent to what the disenfranchised are complaining about would be if TV started charging $20 per round on the executive courses, after "free golf for life" was promoted ad nauseam. But in the case of TVH, there is no evidence that any equivalent promise was made.
