Oh, yes. And here's the reason. The GOP was right to try to prevent the ACA going into effect because they did understand that it is actually quite hard to take candy from a baby. People who never had health insurance saw it as an abstraction but once they had it - and they have had it for 7 years - they liked it. The GOP did understand that. Taking shit away is not popular.
Then, you have fuckheads like this:

Quote:GOP rep. calls emergency room health care ‘coverage’: ‘If you show up at a hospital, you get coverage’
How stupid do you have to be to know that being treated at an emergency room is not insurance coverage?
Quote:The Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA), passed in 1986, requires hospital emergency rooms to provide assistance to everyone for emergency medical treatment. However, emergency room treatment is considered to be the most costly type of care, and it does not include non-emergent needs like routine physicals or cancer treatments. Additionally, the law provides no mechanism for funding, leaving patients with an enormous bills which hospital are many times unable to collect.
The depth of ignorance that these republicunt assholes show on this issue is truly staggering. We seem to have a whole party of shitheads who don't grasp how complicated things are.
