"Mr. Haslam disguises his Obamacare expansion with a misleading name (Insure Tennessee)".....

EDITORIAL: Bill Haslam, Tennessee Republican governor chairman, buys Jonathan Gruber's Obamacare Med - Washington Times

Gov. Haslam: Insure Tenn. is not Obamacare

Is this in the same context as..."If you like your doctor you can keep him"........¿¿¿

Did you know that Governor Haslam is the richest elected official in the US? Forbes says he's worth $2billion. Just an interesting tidbit, not a comment.

Interesting....."Since August, Forbes says, Haslam’s worth has gone from $980 million to an estimated $2 billion"

In spite of the rhetoric on extreme conservative talk shows, the Affordable Care Act actually works.

Yep. And that's why several Republican governors are now supporting it -- as long as they get to rename/rebrand it.

Not going to get into a debate if the ACA has or has not actually worked with "ALL the details and expenses to everyone" in this thread.....

No problems, I have no intent to debate the details of the ACA here where it against the forum guidelines. That debate belongs in the Politics and Other Controversies (for ripping Obama in general... lots of conservaties hang out there) or Health Insurance (for debating actual merits and numbers) sub-forums. I do know a few people with "pre-existing conditions" who, starting last year, were suddenly able to find health care. But I don't know specific numbers.

For the record I'm a fiscal conservative who believes in personal responsibility and reward for work. But I'm also a Christian who does NOT follow the strictly capitalistic ideal where if you can't afford a doctor you should go hide in a corner and die quietly. I celebrated nationwide health-insurance as a necessary social program. Yes, some details still need to get worked out (just like the roll-out of the now-hugely-popular Medicare Part D under Bush), but within a few years I figure that "Obamacare" should be running smoothly and universally liked.
