Well, he'd go to the ER, give a fake address and stiff the ER... and everybody else would be paying his bill. Karl Marx would approve!

Wrong. The program is working just fine. What you are reacting to is the outcome of a lot of very deep pocketed insurance company's and their lobbyists working AGAINST the American people, to restore the former world where THEY got to choose who got care to THE INSURANCE companies' benefit.

Anyone who is buying into the media about the wrongness of the Affordable Health Care Act is either gullible, or has a vested interest in seeing things return to the OLD ORDER, and intentionally misleading others.

does it really matter if the person provides a link. You'll probably either dismiss it, or twist the facts to justify your hatred of obamacare.

If that were the case nobody could link any site. There is NO SCH THING as a non-biased site.

Health care is now law and has been upheld by the Supreme Court. It can't be simply done away with.
It can be revised, however, and probably will be.

This issue is done and dusted. It's over. Get used to it.

So what? DADT used to be a law as well and was simply done away with.
