Dear Sick People,

You people need some sort of a modified single-payer system. It works.

Sure, sure, some cutrate company will provide a shittier service at a lower pricepoint, but looking at the above, is a shittier service what you need?  Personally, I don;t know that life and the maintenance thereof should be a for profit industry, but so long as it is we may as well approach the reality of it, rather than our best wishes for how it could be better within that context.

Return of free market and competition. Part of the problem is that we had limited companies to choose from and only one plan that would cover my wife's specialists physicians. Not much of a choice. Barring any hospitalization, it would have been less expensive to go with no insurance and pay out of pocket. I could buy cheap ass hospital only/catastrophic coverage but that would not satisfy the mandate.

You cannot use the problem to solve the issues it created. In this instance the free market caused a problem whereby a significant percentage of the population weren't able to access healthcare and most of those who could pay were not being provided for. The problem was that the free market imposes no obligation on participants providing a public good to provide it to all.

Instead of pining for the returning to the utopia (please reflect on the meaning of that word) of unregulated provision, you should be advocating for the introduction for a state owned and regulated monopoly provider, in healthcare the only model which will ever work.

Seems like that would be a hell of alot easier.

I would guess because the ACA has Obama's name associated with it. What, it surprises you that they want to erase anything he might have done?

RE: Dear Sick People,
Seems like they just want to erase his name, not what he's done.  Is it surprising?  Ish.  He's been their boy every step of the way.  Fought -against- regulations on banks.  The healthcare plan now effectively named after him was a conservative wet dream for decades, drone warlord...I repeat....drone, warlord........and he made the bush era tax cuts permanent while simultaneously overseeing some of the most drastic cuts to non-discretionary spending in decades.

The man was a right wing second coming.......can't figure out what the problem might be, for the life of me............. Rolleyes

Twenty years from now he'll be standing alongside St. Ronnie in the Political Pantheon, as the New Republican Party keens about how there used to be Good Democrats™.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom.

Him being a black Democrat can't have anything to do with it, I'm sure.

RE: Dear Sick People,
I just heard Sen. Mike Lee, republicunt from Utah and a fucking mormon on top of everything else, explain that they want to repeal it immediately but leave it in place for at least 2 more years.  6.4 million people joined up this year alone and they want to let 12 million more join?

Shitheads.   Every last one of them.

Thinking?  No.  If their owners wanted them to look like they possessed a single sentient thought they'd reach directly up their ass and make their lips move, like usual. They've been told to shut their mouths, they don't know why they do what they do, that's what the strategists are for.
