While the right wing melt is glorious, perhaps it's time to focus on fixing the ACA

Everyone agrees it needs positive work. Instead of bringing all of America down with the GOP, both sides now have the freedom to do some positive work. This debacle could actually be liberating for Republicans who want to work to actually improve people's lives.

The fundamental problem with the ACA is that it's a government program doing something that the free market was intended to do. It can't be fixed or improved on. Just let it crash and burn and maybe when premiums go up another 200 or 300% and there's only one insurer in each state, people will see the light.

They didn't ask for help creating it. Let them die with it. Let it crumble at the people's expense. A day of reckoning is coming.

The Dems have no plans to work with the Reps or Trump on anything.

I say let it die on the vine.
Also, isn't it funny that whenever republicans are in power it suddenly becomes very important and noble to reach across the aisle and work together, yet we never hear these virtues extolled when democrats control the government.

Is it too late to keep your doctor if you like your doctor? What about my plan? If I like my plan, can I still keep it as I was promised? Can it still save a family $2500 a year?
Lying sack of shite.

I actually agree with this - the fix - not the melt.
Trump ran on replacement of Obamacare, not repeal. There is actually good in the ACA, regardless of what some here tell you. Having affordable healthcare for people waiting (2 year qualifying period) for Medicare once disabled is a good example. So are preexisting conditions, though it can probably be tweaked.
Not having a workable freakin' plan in place that protects people being helped by the ACA is shameful.

The ACA does not exist somewhere else. You mean "let us burn." You are free to go into the woods and hang yourself, but if Republican orthodoxy is for you to hang me as an expression of your frustration, the Republican Party is lost.

Nope.
It burns to the ground.

Dude, I hate to be the bearer of bad news but there is no fixing the ACA when it was designed to fail by your party and fail bigly at that too.
It's a precursor to single payer and the GOP implosion helps that along.

I know you've chosen to actively block certain memories, but giving the order to take out bin laden was there too. Epic

The fundamental problem is that people get sick and we have amazing technology that can save their life ...and that technology is expensive. We don't turn people away from hospitals/emergency rooms based on their ability to pay.
We might as well put a system in place to deal with these realities rather than relying on "free market" slogans. I'm all for free market aspects of health care (incentives for healthy lifestyles), but it's not a free market.

As much as dems would want that, it's not going to happen. Ocare is in a death spiral, let the dems own it and move on to tax reform.

What's more shameful is robbing Peter to pay Paul and forcing Peter to buy shite he doesn't want or need or will never use. All just to give free shite to people that can't budget worth a damn or hold down a good job,
That's one good reason why premiums are so high.

They are but not for the reasons you think.
The opposite, actually.

Republicans are incapable of doing anything by themselves, as we have seen over and over. If some don't start working with Democrats then they might as well turn off the lights and go home.

This is one good reason why healthcare is so expensive in this country by the way and should've never been mandated by law.
