Yes, we finally agree, which makes me wonder why you supported it taking place.
Making people without insurance sign up for insurance isn't screwing people unless being able to get medical preventative check ups and being insured in case of emergencies is now considered "screwing people."

So what did the two sides agree on that makes you think "no thanks to Obamacare?"
Yeah, Amazon takes care of their employees.

If you mean 'take care of' in the Mafioso sense of the term.

Haven't read anything about any of Amazon's warehouses, obviously it doesn't paint a good picture for this warehouse and the workers there should do something about it. Good to see OSHA is getting involved.

actually i was concerned about rising health care costs before obamacare, but obamacare does nothing to address those costs. in fact it exacerbates those costs by adding more regulations and more taxes. in fact i have laid out things that could be done to reduce health care costs in the past, but people like you poo pooed those ideas, and pushed for obamcare, well you have it now, enjoy it.

Actually I am enjoying it, though I wish the Democrats would have held strong with the single payer option.
