Idiots would rather have ACA than Obamacare.

1. yeah I was laughing my ass off when I heard that

I have some dumb shits in Tacoma who didn't know the difference either.

2. This is what we are dealing with

[Cerridwen]

3. The power of naming and the power of framing.

It would appear words mean something as do the order and selection in which they are presented.

Who could have seen that?

[L0oniX]

5. Yea ...I like how "Affordable" means it's ...well ...affordable, and Obamacare is uhm ...not.

[Cerridwen]

6. I don't know that yet.

I'm waiting for the initial rush to die down before I go to my state's website.

My current cobra bill is approx 700/mo for just me and for very limited dental and vision.

As I've stated earlier, I loathe the plan as it stands. As I've stated elsewhere, I get how the "real" world of politics works.

I'm a realistic idealist or an idealistic realist. I think that boils down to cynic.

Either way, I try not to be too simple minded and to stay as informed as I'm able.

8. Apparently it is not affordable for those at the poverty line ...and

no Medicaid coverage as well in those states that rejected the Fed funding ...all of them are states that have the most poor people. Mission accomplished.

14. I, too, am apalled that some repub govs kneecapped the ACA

implementation for their own ends. That's now, however, a feature of the ACA so much as it is a bug.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'd like to go back to feeling good about a Democratic victory for a while (a day or so) before I got back to decrying the fact that they only gave me this pony (the first image of the adorable care act):

12. "Job creators," "family values", "individual liberty and freedom", "personal responsibility"...

"tax cuts for working families", "reverse discrimination", "national security interests", "evil empire", "freedom fighters (in Central America)", "equality of opportunity (not outcome)", "death tax", "fight them over there so we don't have to fight them over here", "pro-life," "protecting marriage", "help small businesses by deregulation", "spending problem, not a revenue problem"..

And so on and so forth.

[L0oniX]

13. "Buy this and save" ...my favorite.

[Cerridwen]

15. Yeah, no kidding.

I wish Orwell were alive to discuss.

Silly me.

[Cerridwen]

16. Yep. I should go find that link I had.

It was all non-copy-and-paste pdf if I remember and I don't feel like transcribing.

I should find it any way.

[Hoyt]

4. Yep, those yahoos just don't like anything to do with Obama.

[petronius]

7. Sounds like a compromise! We'll scrap the plans for Obamacare - heck, we'll

practically surrender - and settle for the ACA. Darn you 'baggers, you win again...

[L0oniX]

10. See how easy it would be for Obama to strike a deal with the GOP?

Conversation with Boner... "OK. I'll agree to take Obamacare off the table if you will accept ACA ...which unlike Obamacare is very affordable."

[backscatter712]

9. I saw that earlier today.

This is something that has us alternating between laughing and crying...

[Lifelong Dem]

11. I say give it to them - ACA

And that's as far as I would compromise.

[Jamaal510]

17. This is the modern GOP base, folks. eom

[L0oniX]

18. All suckers ...and I'll bet Honey Boo Boo is their favorite tv show next to The Voice.
