[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think that's a great thing. i want it to collapse.

It was poorly thought out and rammed through. It's been a disaster. No need to throw more money at it. Everywhere this type of government run healthcare is tried, it fails.[/quote]

Do you know what else was failing, even worse? The healthcare system that preceded the ACA.[/quote]
That was true for some, not true for others. [b]ACA created an entire new class of "underinsured middle-class Americans." My friend's SIL is a doctor, and he said he saw a big switch in his patient base - many more low income people (getting free care) and much fewer middle income people (who can no longer afford it)[/b].[/quote]

+1 I think Obama's main focus was on the uninsured and very poor. The very wealthy aren't really affected by what happens. It's the middle class worker and small business owner who have been hit by much higher rates. [/quote]
Yes, and that's the problem with liberals - and why they lost the election. They were so focused on the poor/working poor, as usual, that they ignored the impact it would have  on the lower-middle class. (As you point out, the upper-middle and wealthy could absorb the added costs.) There's no way a self-employed person, making a livable but modest income of $50,000, can afford to pay $700 or $800 a month for an insurance policy that still leaves him responsible for thousands of dollars in doctor's visits, treatments, lab work, and prescriptions every year.
