    I'm quite fond of how they've blamed the Democrats for pushing ACA through (ignoring that they refused to do anything) and also accuse them now doing exactly what they did for the last 8 years.

    The problem is now people are no longer buying that what they're selling.

    Have you been reading this thread? The "conservatives" in here are parroting trumps propaganda word for word.

    "Democrats own Obamacare now!" lol, since when have they not? The GOP swept into power on that very sentiment.

    Maybe a few of the smart ones will realize what a con job this whole thing is, but I doubt it. The GOP has their fools on lock down. They'll just step up the welfare queen, terrorists! be afraid! and brown immigrant rhetoric.

    Guess we will see. A viable third party candidate could make some noise, because the two parties are equally fucking hated at this point.

    Yes that makes sense. I expect about that many of us lost our insurance due to Obama fucking around.

    Republicans' repeal of ObamaCare is going nowhere. Have you seen the replacement? No hearings, 1/6 of the economy, much higher premiums, much worse insurance and virtually zero support for the repeal.

    I disagree, the party has far too much political capital tied up in the repeal-replace dogma. they will get something done. the real question as I see it is will voters accept it as a better or worse solution. if enough are negatively impacted, their majorities in the senate and house will be in play for the 2018 and 2020 elections.

    Medicare for All?
    I know you guy are not serious, because most of you don't have a clue as far as Medicare is concerned.
    I use the VA system, what a bitch to get what you need when you need it! But, do you know why I use the VA system that sucks?
    It is much better than Medicare. Be careful what you wish to get, especially when you never tried it.
    No, I am not going to list all the stuff wrong with Medicare.

    Beggars cant be choosers bro. If your socialized single payer healthcare is so bad, just stop using it and get your own insurance.

    Had that too. Worked along time to qualify for it, and it was great, good anywhere. Then the Dems decided to tax it, but their real plan was to make me buy it so I could support the freebies for those they wanted to have insurance. To this end they told my employer it would be legal not to insure me instead of paying the tax. It worked.
