Harleyquinn: the usual propaganda babble. No, the ACA didn’t save me 2,500; it saved me more like 8,000. As for “keeping your doctor” – WHAT doctor? Before the ACA, because of idiotic underwriting techniques, I couldn’t get insurance at all.
My biggest beef is that the outrageous pricing of medical care in this country is blurred by the subsidies.
That will be the sound of the ultimate Republican defeat— they will start insisting on calling it Romneycare and insisting on taking credit for it.
Actually, we all know that won’t happen. Republicans are still trying to kill Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. You have to give it to Republicans— they are almost always wrong, but once they have an idea they stick to it, against all sense and evidence.
It is understandable that the gigantic profits made by the private insurance companies will perhaps diminish, and hopefully be better channeled towards the ‘have-nots’, nicely summed up by Nohwear and Ryan as “Don’t be poor” and “If you’re poor, don’t bother me,” in order that they get better health care than before.
A former mayor of NYC once said that the difference between the Democrats and the Republicans is that the “Democrats have a heart.”The Cons also have and are riddled with the Christian conservatives which is in itself a debilitating handicap.
Paris Girl: Please spell the term properly – “Christian” conservatism. Real Christian doctrine has held from the beginning, that one cannot serve both God and wealth.
^ Who give more? The rich person who give $1,000 or the poor person who give $10? It is much easier for the rich person to give $1,000, who might be giving up a luxury, than for the poor person, who might be giving up parts of meals by giving $10.

And the Republican/Fox “news” viewers plan for health care?
Don’t get sick. And if you do get sick, die quickly.
Or maybe some of the so-called "conservatives on these boards can list the highlights of the Republican health care plan.

braindead08They can’t because the Affordable Care Act IS a Republican plan. Romney came up with it, Obama tinkered with it.

The ACA is the Romney Care plan. It must hurt to be so smart and sure of everything.

Do the naysayers have even the slightest clue as to how many Americans have benefited from the Affordable Care Act?
