Kudos for your intellectual honesty.
And while I agree that the ACA's INTENTIONS are good, it is the most fucked up piece of legislation in history.... As time will prove out.
And I'm virtually never wrong on these matters. Count on it.
Better to have a bleeding heart than none at all. Inside of a decade, the American people will wonder why they embraced the old model of healthcare for so long. When you lose your job, you dont' lose your car insurance but somehow we've accepted that you should get your health insurance through your employer? Silly.
As for intellectual honesty...I'm dismayed at some on the left would call it anything other than a lie. Maybe at the time Obama thought there would be a "grandfather clause" but he didn't say that...
Oh well.
If you've paid any attention to me at all, you will know that I have long favored and pushed for a Universal Health in this Country on this Board.
I just want it done correctly and intelligently -- So it will last. And so it will do what we want it to do.
But dimocraps did it their way and their way is the socialist way.
Unnecessary. It could have been intelligently, we could have listened to Switzerland, France and Holland and designed a system that covers everybody without the over-complication and government interference of a socialist system.
IOW, dimocraps fucked it up. Big time and in a BIG way.
You ain't seen nothing yet. Wait until they start paying claims. Wait it finally settles into your brain that 80% of the people currently signing up are paying NOTHING because they're all going on Medicaid.
Wait until the Employer Mandate hits. Wait until your hours get cut, wait until Employers shift more and more cost onto you, wait.....
Just wait.
This could have been done intelligently. The time was right. Republicans wanted a Universal Plan, too. I know that most of you don't know that.... Thank the DISGUSTING FILTH in the LSM, but Republicans introduced (I think) Fice different plans under Bush, one of which was widely heralded as being FAR more comprehensive and covering FAR more people.
You're voting for the wrong people, Candy. They're pathological liars. All of them.
It's a disease with them.
