You wont hear them complain about ACA, you'll hear them complain that the government needs to icnrease the subsidy cost for education.. Thats how it works, a non stop endless cycle of give me give me give me.. but government not to blame, UHC is for not just printing the money...

Why was this moved? A local news website report about local school system. I think someone who moved it has a little buyer's remorse.

And by "person who voted for this" you mean who exactly? I didn't see it on any ballot that I can remember.

Funny thing is, after reading the article I was thinking that there will now be 8,586 people who will have access to affordable healthcare who are likely now without it.

True. Either not enough money or not enough time. It's always one or the other. I don't wish ill will on someone, but if they ever have to change their doctor or hospital, I'm just going to point and laugh.

Oh that's definitely Schumer. Maybe Pelosi. Someone who drank the water.

Apparently UNC got into the habit of keeping most of their employees under 30 hours a week so they wouldnt have to pay benefits. Now its going to 29 hours a week. Who care about the employees? You wont find a Tea Partier out there having much sympathy...they have theirs and for the rest of us...its ********* and please pay your taxes.

Do you remember that time when you had to chose between making your mortgage payment or health insurance premium payment? Or what about that other time when no insurer would offer coverage to your spouse because they suffered from chronic migraines? You remember, you had to watch her/him go for more than a full year without being able to get standard tests for anything because without insurance it costs thousands of dollars? Or couldn't afford to get all of their monthly prescriptions filled because without insurance it costs upwards of $1,000?

Because if you don't, if you don't understand how remarkably biased healthcare is for people who need to go it on their own without having sufficient income to pay the insanely high premiums being charged (if they even extend an offer of coverage), you can't speak from a true position of expertise.

Criticize the ACA only if you have a viable alternative, otherwise you're just simply part of the problem we previously couldn't solve.
