When McCain and Obama ran against each other, healthcare was THE main topic. Once Obama won, he had something of a mandate to make some changes. He could have made small, incremental changes that would have made some improvements, but he choose cram a program everyone knew would fail and be in the spot it's in today. The insurance companies pulling out, the high premiums, the unbelievable amount of money it's cost us; none of that was a surprise.

Um, he pretty much put forward the same plan the Conservatives created a few years before.

His only failure was he wussed out and didn't put in a public option.

He should have adopted McCain's plan to begin forcing health insurance away from being the employers responsibility and coupled that together with his guaranteed minimum coverage ideas to come up with the beginnings of a new concept in health insurance.

Instead, because as a liberal his belief is government first and foremost, he pushed through a bill no one read or understood, including himself.

Seriously?  How do you not know that ACA was nearly a carbon copy of romneycare??

Single payer will devastate America and in fact, much of the world. We've got to let that idea go.

HA!!  BS - Tell that to to pretty much every other industrial country on the planet...

What is preventing insurance companies from competing across state lines? I keep hearing this topic so I assume there's a regulation preventing this or they have to qualify in each state so the cost is prohibitive.

Again, if there were a public option, it would have spurred competition.

What would happen if health insurance could be purchased like auto insurance? A few changes such as guaranteed coverage, no cancellation provisions etc... but would it work?

I don't care if St Louis has a higher murder rate per capita that Chicago.

You know what you lied about so just shut up about it and go back to the topic. Talk about deflection........

Liar.

If I got a PM like that I would forward it to the mods.
And I would expect prompt, decisive action.
If someone is that wound up about it, take a break.

Ha Ha! You think I care if anyone knows I sent you a PM? What a baby. You think crying to mama is going to freak me out or something. Geez dude, get in the real world....

I don't even remember the topic. I'm guessing I sent it because the censor program would have edited beyond understanding, which it looks like they did.

So, here, let me try interpreting.
crappity smack you you piece of nuts. No one on here supports that and you're garbage for suggesting otherwise.

Crappity Smack I assume means FU. Piece of nuts I guess is $hit. Not sure about the rest.

Here, let me type it out again and let's see how it comes out:

crappity smack you you piece of nuts. No one on here supports that and you're for suggesting otherwise.

Now, I'm guessing no one cares about whatever little personal vendetta you are pursing against me. You lied, I called you out. End of story. If you want to cry about it to me more, do it in a PM. Otherwise, I'm done pointing out the obvious.
