I know, that is why they fully supported Hillary Clinton. They hate the competition that Trump will impose on them.
Reference please.

This is nonsensical & par for the course. Why is it always 'Marcia, marcia, marcia ... ahem ... Hillary, Hillary, Hillary.

Maybe you God doesn't know this as he is still blaming democrats and anyone else he can think about HC fiasco. Also while you are at it - remind him that he has a beautiful plan that will cover everyone at the fraction; may be you know where to find that one too! Please please let him know - this will bring him out of that scout boy speech hole he is in as well; he is spending all of his time in inventing completely unnecessary lies.

The lazy and unmotivated among us have had fair warning to find a paying job and carry their own weight.

Government provided healthcare is a non-starter.

To those on the Left, there is zero chance of overcoming obstacles like me. We outnumber you in several ways!
Um - sure you do. That's why congress on Day 1 repealed the ACA.

Right?

The UnAffordable Care Act and the problems it brought about for the majority of Americans are not going to be fixed overnight with the wave of a magic wand, the ACA was rushed through by a Democratic administration and a congressional Democratic majority under the false pretense that it'll make healthcare affordable to everyone... It made it affordable allright, for a very small percentage of Americans, while the rest of us are dealing with health insurance premiums that have skyrocketed, much higher deductibles, less options, many health insurance companies that have pulled out of the ACA's marketplace participation, increased operational costs for healthcare providers, Medicaid expansion that became a burden for most states, and many other problems that were foreseen from the very beginning but ignored.

Like most problems, the root causes only take a short time to take place, but it will take much longer to resolve them because of all the other domino effect problems that were brought about.

Exactly!
There is hope for you yet!!


Worrying and thinking for me, when I have no value to you what so ever, has created the backlash.
I know for a fact, you don't want me worrying and thinking for you all the time.

You may get it, when I make the choices for you.

As long as this perception persists America will never have healthcare for all. The whole idea of a universal healthcare plan is every one contributes through taxes those that need healthcare take from the pot.Some may never need others may need ,its a system thats working everywhere else in the world.

Donald Trump Won’t Be Getting Koch Brothers Money

By Reuters On 8/2/16 at 1:35 PM





COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Reuters) - The billionaire industrialist Koch brothers rejected pressure over the weekend from dozens of big donors in their sprawling political network to back U.S. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, saying that their money was better spent trying to influence the next President, Hillary Clinton.

The Kochs have now made unmistakably clear that they want Hillary Clinton to become the next President (and, thus, academics and the media will overwhelmingly support Hillary). Previously, there was question as to whether the Kochs would go so far as to help a Democrat; but, now, there is no serious doubt about it: they already do (though as quietly as possible, and not in their own — often lying — mere words).
