(32,626 posts)If the american people can't get their own representatives to vote on their behalf, nothing you say or do will bring different results. Perfection is far more important than progress...all or nothing. Leave it for some other sucker...you can't win. But....by all means trash everyone, and make some good sound bytes. Like a boxing match or something. You vs. Everyone. It'll make great headlines, which is all that matters.

(180 posts)not access to employer based health insurance. Too many low income employees are paying for health insurance they can't afford to use because the deductibles are too high. The way the law is written, if the employer offers coverage, people are ineligible for subsidies no matter how low their income is. That's just wrong. People at 139% FPL can't afford $5,000 deductibles and $10,000 yearly maximums.

Oh, and no matter what you do the republicans will never stop hating you or ever work with you, so don't waste time and effort trying to change that.
