The RAND study just killed a heap of Republican ACA talking points

Those fuckers should just die.

Were they civilized and if they truly appreciated the civilized country in which we live, they would do just that.

Greedy fuckers, taking advantage of health care. If they'd just go ahead and die, America would avoid the ignominy of socialism and the rest of us would get along just fine.

Sick people tend to make other people sick. I say let's get them cured so they can become productive citizens. Call me pro-life.

We've been over this before.

Long story short: there are about 10 million ineligible uninsured due to Fuck-You-Mexican provisions in the ACA legislation that Republicans insisted on.

There's another 10 million or so that MIGHT have been covered under Medicaid expansion authorized under the ACA, but Republican governors chose to not implement Medicaid expansion in their states. Politics over people.

That leaves another 10-15 million, of which the ACA has now covered seven million.

It's a very good start, and the biggest single positive change in years.

Thanks.

Please allow that I'm inclined to abandon a thread once it becomes personal attacks, and some political posters are on my ignore list, so I may miss their threads entirely. Maybe I'm not the only one.

I'd agree that half to two thirds is a very good start. I hope it makes a difference in wait times next time I or somebody I care about goes to the emergency room.

You're one of the very few conservatives here able to articulate a viewpoint without the need for spittle-flecked oratory. I apologize if and when you get caught in the crossfire.

He married Cheyenne.

She does that round and round thing.

Keeps guys sane or drives 'em crazy, I forget which.

I should have said reciprocal personal attacks. I just move on to another thread, and there's so much stuff here I still don't have time to read it all.
