Why the fear of the Affordable Care Act?

I dunno, Seaoat. The hysteria has driven at least two or three posters over in the Politics section to go stark raving mad. You know who they are. I am finding it totally amusing. I hope this shutdown drags on for at least another week, so everyone gets really mad at Congress and its current power-brokers. In the end, the person who blinks will be John Boehner. The cracks in his foundation are already appearing, with Republican moderates both in Congress and in state houses calling on him to find a way to end the shutdown.

The Teahadists screwed up by trying to connect the ACA to funding the government, and Boehner screwed up big time by giving in to that sorry bunch. The voters will remember next November, for sure.

So a year from now you will be happy?

ObamaCare has proven to be a train wreck, perfect isn't even seen at the end of the tunnel.

We told you so but COSTS are stunning people and they are finding out their deductible, in some areas is $5,000 to $13,000 plus the "insurance" only pays 60% to 72% of the costs leaving the patient with the deductible along with the 28% - 40% "co-pay".

I was the first to criticize the Affordable Care Act when it passed for its flaws, but the direction is correct and we need to work for the public option and single payer system.  Providing an opportunity for Americans to have a safety net in health care is not socialism, it is common sense steps in meeting our founding fathers directive to provide for the general welfare of citizens.  I think cooperative and supportive criticism is needed, not anarchy or special interest sabotage.
