One side of that coin gave access to health care to 20M people the last time they were in power.

The other side wants to take that access away.

That's a pretty shitty second side.

You continue to only judge the law based on who benefits, rather on the whole picture including who loses out.

Individual rights and individual dignity means jack shite to you. Only "the aggregate" matters.

That legislation was a travesty. The better course of action would have been to tweek our current system at the time.

I've seen your posts on here and you have bought into the Dem party hook, line and sinker. You can't even think for yourself anymore, just spout party nonsense. People like you on both sides are the problem with politics.

More people benefit and less people lose out with the ACA than by repelling it. Full stop. End of story.

I'm sure the people whose deductible is $10,000 are very, very thankful. They are expressing their thanks by staying away from "health care" because they can't afford it.

You are pathetic. Individualism and individual rights have a deep and rich history among western theorists.

You think that there is no inherent value within an individual so great that it makes certain collective action immoral.

It's disgusting.

So Medicare, Medicaid and VA health care is a Republican creation now?

You're wrong. I think the collective action of stripping healthcare from 20M people ruins the inherent value of an individual who will die because of that decision. Even if that decision helps a small (<3%) of the population on the individual market without subsidies.

Keep twisting, though. You'll learn one day.

They've voted to keep and expand all of them (e.g. Medicare Part D). Or do you think those programs are entirely the devil created by Democrats?

I think the lying obama and the dems did to pass obamacare makes it illegitimate. Glad the Republicans can fix that mess!

That's like saying because most Democrats voted to invade Iraq, that the Middle East wars are the Democrats' baby. Wonderful reasoning there, Eisenstein.

We need the military and surveillance, we don't need illegals and generational welfare families.


Then we need to be almost 20 trillion in debt, apparently.

Who was lied to about the law or mechanisms of payment? I was pretty well-aware of what the law was going to be and the various pieces. Why weren't you?
