re: #5 francis

I seem to remember him saying “affordable health care for everyone’, on more than several occasions during his first term. He also stated everyone could keep their insurance and doctors and that isn’t true also.

I don’t understand his objection to fixing the bill or having it a part of the negotiations. Something good could come out of it for either side. Once Jan 1st passes, it will be almost impossible to get rid of the bill. Why do you think the republicans are pushing so hard. It is the most unfair piece of legislation I have seen passed in a long time. The poor are not covered in every state and the black population is suffering the most again. What is so great about the ACA other than the government is making people more dependent on the government. They have given corporation a way out of covering people with health care and increased their profits. Why do you think the unions are angry, they finally woke up and see it for what it is.

Oh, bullshit, Francis. It is NOT the most “unfair piece of legislation.” The ACA looks the way it does because Democrats compromised with Republicans in order to get it passed. They put in the stuff the GOP insisted on, took out things that shouldn’t have been taken out, all in effort to appease Republicans and get them to agree to a vote. After doing all that, the GOP refused to vote for the very things they insisted upon.

Oh, and if you are so very concerned about people becoming dependent on the government, I highly suggest you give up your Medicare, Social Security, and whatever other benefits you get from the government.
