    Let's face it, her initials pose a problem:

    ew

    interjection
    \ ˈiu̇ , ˈē-ü\
    Definition of ew
    (Entry 1 of 2)

    —used to express disgust at something distasteful or repellent (such as a bad odor) Ew, what's that smell?

    Just when we tire of calling her Pocahontas, a video surfaces proving she lied repeatedly about supposedly being fired from teaching because she was pregnant.

    Might be the most dishonest woman in politics after Hillary.

    She's low hanging fruit. Let the Dems nominate her.

    I remember whan Obama said he was going to change the world while Oprah was weeping in the background. It was such a sweet moment in time.

    Don'tcha just love campaign promises?

    I remember when Mexico was going to pay for a big beautiful wall...and Obama was a man who brought calm and dignity to the job....Trump has brought only chaos and anger...choices. I've realized how much you love to troll but you need new bait ABM....that bait was dried up a decade ago....you are religious...I'm sure you're preacher makes you promises of an unseen afterlife and the power of prayer,,etc…..and you probably don't chastise him for it. Maybe you even shed a tear during the sermon eh? Afterwards though, you leave church feeling better about mankind....welcome to oratory 101

    The ACA actually regulates the profit margins that the heath insurers could get from it - which is why many of them were trying hard not to participate...

    It's a nice soundbite, tho. Wrong, but nice.

    It put a high premium on government care and made health insurance mandatory. It basically sent people running into the arms of private care providers, whether they could afford it of not.

    I have eyesight (although limited) in my left eye due to Obamacare as otherwise I would be completely blind in my left eye so no, Obamacare isn't complete trash to me. Nice try though, but you need to be better informed and lose all the fabricated conspiracy theories you have bought into.

    Not sure where you are getting your numbers from. I suggest going over the following for a non political sources - a statistics newspaper article penned by an academic.

    I suggest you read the following:
    https://www.statnews.com/2019/03/22/affordable-care-act-controls-costs/

    The point made is that the ACA has basically helped slow down the unregulated price increase brought by drug price raises and the move by employers to move more and more of the cost to employees.

    If anything, it basically suggests that maybe more regulation of the entire health care industry might be the ticket going forward (and given that pay twice or more as much per capita, as other western countries - for lesser health care).

    I thought geriatrics were eligible for Medicare?
    Anyway, Obamacare was a disaster for me. It was insanely unaffordable so I didn’t buy it. They pilfered my not-so-impressive tax return as a penalty...evidently that money went to pay for your eye, so you’re welcome.

    Meanwhile my best friend bit the bullet and payed for it. Had surgery and is STILL currently $12,000 debt, due to astronomical deductibles, and has been denied multiple home loans because of it.

    Fun stuff, glad it worked out for you.
