The ACA is also runaway greed. Obamacare is a Republican-devised mandate to buy private insurance which still leaves millions uninsured. Just look at Obama’s donors and you’ll see why he decided to keep a for-profit, rapacious middle man between patient and doctor.

@Marz ...and if you’re certain of that.. you should also know Obama was old enough to have witnessed what happened to the Democrats after Hillary Clinton proposed a ‘European style’ health care for all plan.. The Filthy R’s and their Corporate backers sunk it, even running ads against it.

So, Obama proposed to both, the filthy R’s & their corporate backers, ‘Romneycare,’ a compromise. It worked … heading toward a national single payer plan .. ten to a dozen years out. What did the filthy R’s and their radical racist contingent do? - fight to kill it! ..telling ignorant America how they had a replacement plan.

Don’t know how politically astute you feel, but Obama was light years ahead of you, Hillary too.. And if the ACA is ‘a republican plan,’ what’s been the republican’s motivation for killing it? Answer: it was going to lead us to ‘universal health care’ and a ‘single-payer system’ … no more mega-profits for the US Healthcare Industry.

Well now, and to think girls used to dream about their prince coming to wake them up with a kiss!

...we’ve enough immigration ..and civil rights can become ‘voting rights,’ but I gave your dreams a thumbs up anyway

@Shefree Well OK but you must admit you girls are not alone in wishing for good partners.

@DonCoryon No, I'm not saying that at all.

@DonCoryon Let me call you ‘Exhibit H,’ with regard to the guys I’ve met and witnessed voting for trump or his minions due to their fear of female domination. Some don’t believe ‘that’s a thing,’ but they’re mainly women..

the ones who lose will suffer dreadfully because their medicare and social security will be protected, they won't lose their health insurance after all, their farms will begin to be profitable again because the tariffs will be reversed, and maybe we can even get trump and pence impeached (after january), which means we'll have a president who doesn't snuggle up to dictators and alienate our best allies. what a horrible fate. i feel so sorry for the losers.

@genessa Gosh, it sounds like a return to the promised land! Now I'm struggling to remember why so many people voted for a change from this paradise.

@brentan seriously? no, it sounds like incredibly hard work. as for why people voted for a change (and with an obstructive republican congress it was HARDLY paradise) they DIDN'T. almost three million more people voted for clinton than voted for trump. no wonder you can't remember.

g

@genessa It gets curiouser and curiouser (more curious, even) So the reason people voted for Trump was because the Democratic government was stymied by the right. Recognising this, the voters knew they had to vote for those who stymied the government. They knew the right had ruined their Democratic paradise so they decided to vote the right in so that they could really destroy it. Gosh, I remember it and I wasn't even there!

@brentan okay you seem to have missed the part where hillary clinton had almost three million more votes than trump. so the people, as a whole, did NOT vote for trump. so you are trying to explain why something happened when in fact it didn't happen.

g

@brentan in addition, from your comments, i well believe you remember stuff you weren't there for, especially stuff that didn't happen. your sarcastic tone would work better if you were actually saying something true and/or useful.

g

@genessa Yes, but it's all very subjective, isn't it, and you carry on like you were handing out gospel truth.

@brentan no, i am not the one carrying on, and your assessment it tantamount to projection. but i really don't know why i should continue talking to you. snerts are so unappealing. goodbye.
