because giving people options is bad, I get it.

The thing didnt function to start with(this is where I expect you to come back with blah blah x # million more covered blah blah rates were still increasing), but now you arent FORCED to buy if you dont want it

So stop your BS and admit your little petulant manchild Trump has utterly failed to come close to making good on his often made promise. Or will you just continue to lap up the continual stream of Fake News! from the White House, America's greatest source of Fake News!?
You support him and think what ever he has done is the best. This is why you are in all these threads supporting obama. Call it what you want, I'll call it what I want. Just as you call trump the man-child.

Obama, who you clearly support also stated that all Americans would be covered under his plan. I noticed you failed to respond to that, why? Could it be that if you told the truth, you'd have to be honest?

I lap nothing, sorry, maybe you should stop listening to CNN, MSNBC, or NBC and actually look around at what is really happening?

You build a stool with three legs. You remove one of the legs. The stool is no longer stable.

I can't make it any more simple for you than that. Most people with even a modicum of intelligence are able to grasp the concept. If you are unable to, there's not anything I can do to help you.

I am not "most people" I far exceed "most people" on the intelligence scale, but good job on trying to make it personal.

The bad legislation simply didnt work to start with.

Yes, you're just another "very stable genius," who can't grasp the concept of a three legged stool.

Awww .

I dogsat for a female relative when she was out of the country for a couple of weeks. That dog loved me second most in the world, but I didn't completely cut it as a substitute for 'mommy' . After about the fourth day, his sadness leveled off/didn't get any worse....but he didn't really revive until she returned, when he immediately 'became his old self again'.

I've long loved three bumper stickers:

1. (which I see often) A paw, with the question 'Who saved who?' written inside

2. (which I haven't seen in a LONG time)...I can't remember the exact wording...but it's something like 'I try to be the person my dog thinks I am'

and

3. Dog Is My Co-Pilot


A few days ago I saw a new one...

The background was white, and the lettering black and pink...DOGMOM....DOG in black, and MOM in pink, with a black paw print in the middle of the O in MOM .

So, you are stating that the Obamacare program could only work if certain individuals, who are not able to afford to opt in or choose not to opt in, are fined and forced to pay penalties . . . Your so called third leg of the stool.

It's what the Republicans who crafted the idea in the '90s termed personal responsibility--everybody has to have some skin in the game. Remember when Republicans used to pretend to stand for that?
