  • Re: The PPACA Thread Part IV - Repeal & Replace, or Something...

    Gotta love it that we, as a society, think it's best if people can make a lot of money trying to help sick people.

    Instead of just taking care of each other.

      Not "we." Just some sick f-cks who won this time around.

      That's the infuriating thing. The vast majority of people are OK. But they're lazy, or easily misled, and so you get policies like this, driven by ideologues so morally bankrupt and/or intellectually deficient that they use the law of the land to harm innocent people.

      Sleep well, Republicans.

            Or, the case of Pennsyltucky, W. Va, and rural Ohio - their heroin fix.

            Hey, an NA meeting only costs a buck, and that's if you can afford to give. Sounds like a solid healthcare plan to me. It's what they voted for, after all.

              Boy, that's going to go over well. Did Trump run on that? If he didn't, it doesn't matter, it's clearly what America voted for.

                  Listening to the Vice President now. I often wonder if these people actually believe the BS their shoveling.

                    Between the healthcare, the lack of education, and the roll back of environmental policies- a lot of these people are just going to go away.

                      I have a default setting of assuming they believe about 50% of what they're saying. The rest is fan service.

                        But not before they spawn, particularly since they start in their early-to-mid-teens.

                        Otherwise the problem would be its own solution.

                          I'd say it's all fan service. Half of it they realize they're lying ("your jobs are coming back"). Half of it they've convinced themselves is true, even though it isn't ("cutting taxes on the wealthy will help the middle class").

                              If Pence and Ryan believe it then they're dumb. And I don't think they're dumb. I think their top drawer snake oil salesman who only care about themselves.
