It is never going to work until we remove the investment angle. Our health should not be something people bet on in the stock markets.
I agree 100% that our health should not be a stock market bet.

But the constant drumbeat against ACA was in no way matched by what was actually going on. Millions got access to health care and millions more were pleased with the law.

The GOP fought it tooth and toenail instead of working to fine tune it. Dropping the mandate, carrying on about ceasing the subsidies... of course, all this is going to undermine it. Duh.

It's not like this wasn't known from the beginning so you don't create a system that requires them to support it later on.

If the (D)'s had done the right thing from the beginning, they are still in power.

Trump hardly needs me to make excuses for him. The problem is you folks whine non-stop, you spread malicious lies, rumors and total nonsense, and it's getting to the point no one believes your bs anymore. Now you have this kind of krap going on - https://www.aol.com/article/news/201...-l-a/22074311/

You folks really think the Resistance is going to grow from this? The left is looking more desperate everyday.

If you can show a malicious lie I've spread I will apologize. If not, I'll dismiss this as a worthless rant because you couldn't address what I actually said.

Even the left-leaning PolitiFact gave a Mostly False rating to the hysterical claim that the new bill 'makes sexual assault a pre-existing condition.' The claim deserved a Pants On Fire, but hey, at least not even PolitiFact could give it a True.
