Agree with you. I was pontificating based on post from Spring Hillian who's opinion on what Dems voted for ACA. It's a great sound bite, but the way it was achieved is not a solution. Just further supporting that putting the government in charge is the best way to screw things up. ACA doesn't have a chance of being successful unless the solution cuts deep into the real problems, all we get today is middle class getting screwed once again. Stepping down from the podium.... next up please...

Bottom line is we should have a single payer system and end of story. Dems actually buckled and we got what we got, which is half cooked. I ain't liking the taste much . It is very well documented all over the world that developed countries spend less per GDP than us and cover everybody, I mean everybody. Is that a rocket science? The republican have nada solution except to oppose whatever the other party propose and b**** about it. Is ACA the end of it all? Of course not. Can we improve on it? Of course we can and we should. Are we better off than where were before ACA? You betcha! That's is the hard fact that many can't swallow and keep repeating the talking points of you know who.

I guess you missed this 37 page proposal that the Republicans in the House released in late June. It not only touches on Obamacare, it also includes Medicare and Medicaid. Now you may not like what they proposed but it clearly contradicts your factless opinion.

Actually I don't think "we" are (meaning the global US population), but I guess that's hard for you to swallow. This article touches on many of the shortcomings and wholeheartedly differs with your opinion. And another Forbes article that also seems to hold a different opinion than you.
