To be fair, the ACA is pretty bad. (It helps some folks at the expense of other Americans, who are getting screwed. Basically, any health care system designed around making a profit by denying care is necessarily going to be expensive and crappy from the perspective of the health care consumer.)

It's ok to admit the Dems did a bad job, and if they had done a better job, we wouldn't be stuck in this predicament. [/quote]

The ACA was the Heritage Foundation solution for healthcare. Obama based his legislation on it in the hopes it would get bipartisan support. They held hundreds of hearing, town halls and floor debate, accepted amendments from the GOP etc and yet the GOP is still fighting it. THIS IS THEIR PLAN. The reason they have nothing but the crap they are offering now is because Obama used the GOP plan.

If it doesn't work, then fix it or replace it with single payer. But the current bill being offered is horrendous and the only reason the GOP is pushing it is to eliminate the black man form the national lexicon.

ACA may have been based on the Heritage Foundation plan but the reality is that it passed with a totally partisan vote. The Democrats voted for it and the Republicans were opposed to it. Those who voted against it were the ones who saw how seriously flawed the legislation was and how it would end up - namely a fiasco which would require endless additional funding to keep it viable.[/quote]
