The right wing is disgusting.
What "glee" would that be?

It's not a game. It's life and death we're talking about.
If you thought it was life and death, you'd not be wanting the astoundingly stupid ACA in the first place.

Me.

I was once young, I have 5 kids who are that age. I know precisely how the vast majority think.

I don't need links to know reality.

Different question.

Being skeptical and favoring repealing something that's passed are not the same.

Especially to people who lack an experienced level of judgment.

This thread is not all about little `ol me.
How did you ever come to the conclusion this was a game? Unless it is you that is playing the game on a message board.

This is about being told I told you so, and you throwing a tittybaby fit.
Talking about insurance, or talking about your doctor? Where is the life or death?
I'd like to see the bill that eliminates for profit insurance.

The young are not paying the most. Rich folks with serious complicated disease pay the most. As they should. But the young do need to have some skin in the game.

They always have. Obamacare didn't change anything for "the rich" because it's not the rich that Obamacare is addressing.

It's people who have no money to pay for premiums.

You think Obamacare affects John Kerry due to his wife's condition ?
NO. The 1% are totally unaffected by Obamacare.

If you wtched the deabtes between Obama and Hillary you will remember that Obama was against mandated coverage then because he said 15 million mostly younger people would not buy insurance.

These kids can't be happy still depending on their parents up to 26 years old. I know I was out on my own, full time job, my own insurance policy at 24, before that I was in college which allowed my parents to cary me until I graduated, in the spring at age 24.

Maybe they shouldn't have been so concerned about everyone else, take care of themselves first and once they were settled in then they can worry about others.

At 24. And this law gives them until they're 25. A whopping one year later. Gosh you just slid in under the wire, didn't ya?
