ObamaCare creator says Democrats were stupid to accept it.

There are 6 billion people in the world. By your reasoning, if we do not give them all free health care we are monsters. Communism has been tried and it doesn't work.

We fought a war to end slavery. I don't intend to enslave myself to the democrat's plan of infinite taxation.

We can go back to the way health insurance worked before. No money no insurance go to the emergency room of any hospital do not pay. Not for Congress Senate and President who get complete coverage for the rest of there life for free.

Find out how many gays died in the states when they got aids and have no insurance. Then you like me will say F*ck the Republican Bastards!

Hazy on the facts are we?

It's been over 7 billion for a while now

7 billion is not an exact number either. Please tell us the exact number or be considered hazy.

^ just don't be too HASTY...

Your figure was way off because it was outdated and just plain incorrect. It makes one suspect of other numbers that you throw out.

Here is your exact number. It took five seconds of Googling. You should try it sometime. http://www.census.gov/popclock/


As for your original post, I'm not sure what criticism you're aiming for. Is it the individual, or the merits of the law itself? If its the individual, then yes, this guy is a moron. Is this reason to terminate the law? If it's working where premium increases are lowering and millions of Americans are successfully insured, then the condemnation of the law itself falls flat.

Your website is still only an estimate. No one could possibly know the exact number. And the exact number is not the point, which is that we cannot give healthcare to everyone.
In a democracy it does make a difference that the administration deliberately falsifies its proposals. Since the law involves confiscating from some to give freebies to others, there is every reason to condemn it.

If you were analytical, you would realize that my statement was literally correct. I said there are 6 billion people, and indeed there are. I did not say there are ONLY 6 million. There are 6 million and a lot more. We cannot give free health care to the 6 million, much less 7 million.
I am so flattered that my posts are so diligently and microscopically perused by my followers,

Uh huh. Nice try.

Such a metaphor for conservative thought in general.

Ummm... ...why not?

The entire developed world (except for the United States) has managed to give healthcare to everyone.


(...and I noticed that you did not answer my question in post #18 above. I am not surprised. You seldom answer my questions.)

His answer is why most conservatives would be. If you don't have health care, shut up and die.

 

[Kulindahr]

With false stories of death panels and other Conservative lies, probably lots of people came to realize that the Republicans were crying wolf. Thus, most voters who wanted health care reform refused to believe anything negative about the ACA, since so much anti-Obamacare propaganda was demonstrably false.

True enough.

The real trickery in the ACA is that a pretend Democrat of a president took a Republican plan and got Congress to hand guaranteed profits to giant corporations.

What guaranteed profits?
Gruber, the architect of obamacare, and the legislature of Massachusetts are not Repbublican. We do not know if Romney was aware of the democrat treachery when he signed it.

I see. So, when Republicans do things like design and pass health care plans, it's only because they have no idea of what they are doing at the time.

Given their astounding cluelessness, what assurances can you give us that Republicans ever understand what it is that they are doing?

Republicans have never passed Obamacare or anything like it. Remembers, it was Nasty Pelosi who urged Demcrats to pass it and find out later what was in it.

Obamacare was DESIGNED by Republicans!

hahaha wait he said it was democrat treachery....so were republicans tricked into...voting against it? wouldn't that mean it wasn't democrat treachery at all..it was just republicans having no ability to stop the bill?

republicans have never passed anything like that....except the one we as a whole party, nominated for president in 2012.

 

[Benvolio]

Tsk, tsk, tsk. Governors do not pass laws, legislators do. Back to 5th grade civics class for you.When was the last the Republicans controlled either house of the Mass. Legislature?
