    Well in the case of car insurance...if you agree to drive one...you pay for insurance....if you agree to see a doctor...you pay for insurance in most cases via copay....I never said they were the same...just that they are both choices

    20+ million poor folk who didn't have access to the system disagree with this.

    All rhetoric? Is there anything he said that you actually believe?

    And "hopefully fix the stupid shit" should have been his campaign slogan. I like it!

    I don't see your point....you claim it's a disaster and I'm an example of it not being one....and I'm not poor or unwashed, nor rich..I think you're sensationalizing but sorry about your mom's sickness...that sucks...my mom died of cancer as well as my father but we didn't get stuck with a big bill in either case..

    thats the trick though. Trump said "everyone's gotta be covered". And I believe he meant it. Now he's gotta figure it out.

    I assume you're getting a subsidy? Obamacare is great if you're subsidized. It's flat out killing me and my wife because we make just a bit over the income limit.

    There you go. Not everyone is having flowers and roses over it, which is why it needs to be amended.

    You can't say "well, it's great for me, so it should be great for you!" Sorry, it doesn't work that way.

    It's a sliding scale...you can have several choices...we have a silver plan and if we make more money over a period of time, the rate adjusts..it's not as complicated as folks complain about...I could apply for insurance outside of the plan we have if I wanted better coverage....personally I really miss the national health insurance I had overseas.....it's expensive here..just like property tax and the cost of living but you gotta love the clean air and drinkable water

    Oh I fully understand before ACA this was just as bad. ACA was not the answer. Not without fully understanding the inner workings of this and they did not.

    The bill was a shit pile poorly introduced and setup.

    Repeal and Replace would be fine; to take current items from it would be fine too.


    What would you suggest to absolve these rich fucks of their pillaging on the people?

    What's the point of this besides your obvious dislike of rich white people? That businesses should freely give products they make without charging anyone?

    What's that? You mean, these guys have a lot because a lot of people and businesses pay them for their products?

    NO! You don't say!

    The hatred of rich people in this country is distracting from real issues. Just stop already. They provide a product that people want and use. Get over it.

    It's this whole "fair share" mentality that is sweeping the nation from the far-left. Something about everything must be equal regardless of how hard you work.

    I don't get it either.

    Oh come on Dviss. Come on now. You're not the most open-minded person when it comes to white people; nevermind RICH white people.

    Come on now man.

    It's not equality but fairness....you can work 40 hours a week for minimum wage here and be below the poverty level with rent or a mortgage taking up all your expendable income...if businessmen want businesses to thrive...those workers need expendable income...pretty simple
