You want higher taxes to pay for that largesse?

And who is supposed to control banking? The banks themselves? Or maybe the states so they can each print as much money as they want?
Who is to control health if not the government? Insurance companies? Big pharma?


In every civilized country on this planet banking, health and education is controlled by governments.

The ACA works.

For you. I am 55, still working (because I want to) I make a higher than average salary due to seniority and I now have to pay through the nose either on my own or with the company plan. I have a 5 year old daughter who will go to college therefore I now can't retire because I am being punished and lied to by your hero. So they will have to either carry me out of my engine on a stretcher or I lose my engineer's license due to health reasons. Your idiot in the WH made those choices for me and I am not in the habit of letting some fool dictate my life's choices. He needs to keep his greedy paws out of my back pocket.

The majority of the people feel the same as I do. And all those you expect to sign up to subsidize this abortion called ACA are not signing up because they don't want their wealth redistributed to other people, such as yourself.

Not by the government, by the states.
