If Republicans have a better plan, let's hear it.
People who are not indigent or old or on medicade/medicare etc. are just not going to the doctor.

A better plan? Get a job! Go to work. Play, be merry, enjoy life. Eat right.

Don't hang out in hospitals all week long.

Mix in a salad and put the fork, the pills, the cigs and the bottle down once in a while.

stop lying.. there was 30 million without insurance pre ACA.. Obama used this figure as an example of the failures of our system at the time.

Did she pave the way for him to get lease the old Post Office building for his new hotel as the two DC politicians did?

What exactly did he get in return for his campaign donation?

Give me a break.

All sorts of people have jobs, some of two or three, and still can't get health insurance.

Next time you go shopping, ask the cashier at the Walmart if he/she has health insurance provided by Walmart.

Ask the CNAs at your Mama's Assisted Living Facility if they have company-paid insurance.

Ask your dental hygienist. Years ago, our dental hygienist told us that they were such a small company they couldn't afford health insurance, so the practice paid them all $4K a year and said to get their own.

All sorts of people get up every morning and go to work and don't have health insurance.

A good percentage of those receiving food stamps who are not disabled have at least one person in the family working. Want to bet they have health insurance?

I've worked with all sorts of hard-working people who don't have health insurance. Folks who would likely put you to shame since they aren't sitting on their ass all day long writing ugly stuff about other people.

They don't take medications they need because they can't afford them. They rely on Emergency Rooms when they absolutely have to and do without the rest of the time.

Don't tell me that people can get health insurance if they'd just get off their butts and go to work because I know all sorts of people who do that and can't afford health insurance.

In the states that refused ACA, you have to make around $11K a year to be eligible for the federal plans. So those folks who are struggling are just out of luck.

As the election will be over soon, you may want to spend some of the time you've devoted to posting nonsense on this forum to helping out some of those folks who are struggling to get by.

Maybe then you'd understand the challenges some people face every day and wouldn't be so prone to post lies on forums like this.
