I have to handit to them. The reason why they passed it without reading it and not giving 2 shits is because it would be extremely difficult to get rid of and if it did get stripped down there would still be a couple key components that would probably not be taken out which were the items they campaigned about (pre-existing conditions...kids stay on insurance until 26...etc) from the get go.

Let's remember who really got us into this mess in the first place. It was the prior administration and their stacked congress.

Democrats got it passed because there is no intellectual
Diversity in that party. They will support anything with a d next to its name.

They knew exactly what was in it. The pre-existing conditions and EHB were effectively poison pills.

They are still gambling that when this fails America breaks left and goes single payer. It was designed to fail but be unrepealable all along.

Healthcare has been a problem for 30+ years, the bill tried to fix it. ANd did some good things.

With that said, I bet if obama had to do it all over again, he wouldn't have passed obamacare when he did. He would have waited until post 2012.

The people who voted for candidates who lost to these dimwits must be really stupid.

Plus they have their own separate insurance plan.

Obama would've been a hero if he'd backed Wyden-Bennett instead of Baucus's monstrosity.

Double edged sword though. Republicans can never seem to stop the infighting and always seem to be disorganized.

Yeah he's giving the democrat's way too intellectual credit...only complete dumbfricks could ruin healthcare the way they did.

Which is a sham. They should be on the Bronze ACA plan to see what it's like.

A problem that the government created.

Someone is a touch bitter today. We support the ACA...the only disagreement we really had was whether it did ENOUGH to help the poor and middle class. We have been waiting for conservatives to do right by the American people and work with us for 6 years.
Still waiting. So don't lecture us about partisanship. There was zero attempt made to work on fixes for Obamacare in a bi-partisan fashion. You have had congress for 6 years and you send repeal after repeal to Obama's desk.
PARTISAN. SHILLS.

Repeal and replace is gone. Fix and work with Democrats is the only hope.

It was so complicated that SEVEN YEARS to figure out how to fix it was too much?
