So instead of working in bipartisanship to fix this we've got Republicans cheering about how it will harm other citizens because they....don't like the law. got it.

What bipartisanship? Obama and the Dems locked the R's out of the process. So now, the Dems have to own their disaster. Deal with it.

Nonsense. The GOP didn't want to have anything to do with it in the first place, other than to say no, no, no.

You're being dishonest and deflecting. Treatment for cancer in Canada is also non-existent, or at best delayed so long it becomes futile.

Try getting it on Obamacare and Medicaid!!! I have experience with that, and believe me if I ever get cancer my chances will be far less than a decade ago. Time critical diseases are a way to trim the costs of social healthcare through attrition.

Thank GOD homosexual men, children, middle aged and elderly people have access to birth control and OB GYN's


but... you go ahead and continue arguing meaningless points amongst yourselves.
ROTFLMAO!!!
You're a funny, funny man.

I guess that's why our cancer survival rates are almost identical to yours(and sometimes higher)....because cancer care is nonexistent here.
Makes perfect sense.

You know less than nothing about Canadian healthcare...from our supplemental insurance to our cancer care.
Better to not say anything at all.

So, the GOP gets locked out of the law in the first place, the law gets passed despite not one single GOP vote for it, and even that required procedural trickery on the Democrats' part to pull off (with a filibuster proof majority in the Senate) and the broken parts all being INTENTIONALLY BROKEN by the writers of the law so it would squeak in under CBO scoring, and since its passage all of the uncomfortable parts that would make it work even remotely properly are all avoided, violated or simply ignored by the Democrats in charge of the Executive branch...and it's now the GOP's fault for not being bipartisan in trying to "fix" it?

Seriously? You're really this blinded by partisan myopia?

You forgot the part where the republicans tried to fix it then the dems shut the government down and blamed the republicans and the lap dog media parroted the dem message like they were on the payroll.

GOP Senate votes for ACA - 0
GOP House votes for ACA - 0

Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

You can't have your own facts. The GOP had nothing to do with the PPACA. Not a single yea vote in either chamber of the Legislature. Yet here it is...Suggestion of the Land.

This stands out:

'The ruling, if ultimately upheld, could cut off financial assistance for more than 4.5 million people who were found eligible for subsidized insurance in the federal exchange, or marketplace.'

It seems it would be best if these people do in fact have their own country, where their devotion to selfishness can find full expression. I sure don't want them in the USA.
Liberals passed the bill look at what they have done. No empathy in the wording of the bill all on liberals
