Affordable Care?

One Brow said:
I have not. It might be true. I'm currently paying a little over 10K annually right now for my not-cheapest family plan, and with the employer contribution it might well be close to 20K. Add in a little inflation, and it's over 20K even for the cheap plan.

However, since the ACA provides for discounts based on need, people do not get priced out of care.

Then it may have been useless propoganda since I cannot relocate that info. I will disregard it as such.

Whether or not Obamacare is "universally seen as vital to the social and economic fabric of our country" remains to be seen. Being on the wrong side of history is not necessarily a bad thing. Case in point, the Social Security Act that you tout as a vital program. I would much rather keep my money and do what I want with it instead of loaning it to the government to fart around with until I retire.

That is some very fine phraseology right there!
 
Well I think Dingellberry answered your question about this legislative monstrosity: "It takes a long time to do the necessary administrative steps that have to be taken to put the legislation together to control the people."

Liberals don't care about affordability. They are happy to increase your taxes and spend your money to enrich themselves and get more power.

Just liberals? I personally love the conservative welfare queen geezers sitting in their rocking chairs fat and happy on social security, watching Fox News all day while constantly looking down their noses at the "lazy young generation that doesn't want to work" and are making the world go to pot.

So-called death panels just might have a positive side...

LOL - it's always funny how people who proclaim to be capitalists and defend it the most understand so little about it and how it works.

Only because the conservatives (people, not the corrupt politicians) didn't understand what it was. The more they learn about it, the more people appreciate it.

No one understood what it was. That alone is suffieicent reason to be angry about how it passed. Pass it to know what's in it? Are you frkeaing kidding me!?

Also the polls I have seen trend towards the ACA becoming more unpopular over time. Do you have any polls showing the opposite? Care to share them?

My understanding is the the polls of the package as a whole is becoming less popular, as if the provision to require the purchase of insurance, but that just about every other provision that affects daily lives has not dropped, or has risen. It's almost like people are reacting to the name more than the actual policies.

I understood what it was. I think everyone outside of the Fox News/Beck/Rush bubble understood it just fine.

One Brow already addressed the polls so I won't get into it.
