That's very true. FDR wasn't a dictator, though. He was duly elected by the citizens.

If the ACA is repealed and not replaced, I'll be happy to write out a yearly check that is equal to the number of dollars that my tax is reduced because of the repeal.

Since I don't know what that figure will be, I can't give you a number.

edit to add: I found one table that says if the GOP ACHA were passed, my tax reduction somewhere between $830 and $2840 a year so I'll say right now that I'd donate between $830 and $2840 a year toward buying health insurance for someone who can't afford it, assuming my taxes were indeed reduced by that amount.

Meh, stacked the court so that he could implement his unconstitutional progammes of his idol Uncle Joe, ran more than twice as no other President was so arrogant to do so, confiscated the gold of the citizens and sold it off at a loss, placed Americans in concentrations camps...and there are many dictators who are elected too

Many would love for their insurance to be only $500-600 a month.

You guys keep trashing republicans because they "don't care about the poor". So since you guys support funding the poor, I want to know how many people you are going to support out of pocket.

I'm looking for either a number of people (0, 1, 2, etc.), or a dollar amount.
This a legitimate question, but you should know better than to ask. Spending someone else's money is the liberal way. Never their own money. I am glad Americans are finally waking up and see the democrats for what they are.

So, the cons are spending their own money every year with their platform of MORE! MORE! MORE! military spending on an already bloated budget?

If I had only one wish, as in from a genie, I would seriously consider using it to make you suffer a financial disaster leaving you penniless, followed by a painful, debilitating, but nonfatal illness.

Healthcare is a major leveler. Virtually EVERYONE will need it, but not everyone will be able afford it under your beliefs-even with diligent, hard, and honest labor.

For most people the tax change would be small potatoes. The big deal would be the change in dollars spent on personal/family HC in excess of their actual need.
