How about just somebody moderate, open-minded, and competent? Could we try that for a change?

Prepare to be buried in the ACA mega threads so discussion on specifics can be stifled.

Obama never said anything about people saving money because of Obamacare instead of spending more.

It's not like for every 1 person who has actually purchased insurance through Obamacare, 10 or more have received notice that their plan has been cancelled because of Obamacare. That could never be true could it?
The insurance plans that are being cancelled effectively have already been cancelled. But more and more people will continue to purchase insurance through Obamacare. The 10-1 ratio you're screaming about will equal out, and then you'll have no talking point at all.

Jesus, you guys are SO incredibly myopic in your worldview.

Here is what I don't understand, and what I'd really like somebody here to explain. In your worldview, it's the worst thing ever that some people's awful insurance plans are being cancelled, but it's fine that millions upon millions more go without insurance in the system that you're defending.

Myopic. Look it up.

This will pass, and in two years, everything will be humming along.

Dream on. Sarah Palin will never run for any national office again.
While it is too soon to make the same prediction about Cruz, I suspect that he will be a one-termer at the most.

Both know where their bread is best buttered. For Cruz, that's a position in one of the powerful Washington lobbies, and for Palin, it's her gig on Fox news. Both can make more money as speakers at conventions and such, and both are more influential in their own spheres than in public office.

U mad?

On a serious note, if a fix costs money, so be it. Unless there is a better fix than that.

With Ron Paul, there'd be more excellent Bad Lip Reading....

Have you checked into the estimates as to how many will still be uninsured that were made without even taking into consideration (before) a non-functioning web site?
Try the CBO
The numbers are astonishingly close.
