That's what is at stake.
That is what Wage-Free Trade, NAFTA, and TPP will cost us in Nov.
Unless we abandon and repeal ALL NAFTA's.

(39,078 posts)Republicans control of all three.
I think the ACA alone will be enough to give the Republicans control of all three.
...like how it helped Romney win?

Merry Christmas, and thanks to all Democrats who stood by and supported the health care law.

(39,078 posts)I think we are going to see a bigger blood bath than in 2010. Even if they get their 7 million sign-ups those people have a history of not voting. Everyone I talk too Democrats and Republicans say the whole thing should be scrapped. Look at the polls a few weeks after the government shutdown and the Republicans are in the lead in a generic survey. Everyone that has a Medicare supplement increase, deductible increase, co-pay increase or when they can't see their doctor is going to blame the ACA. I read today that even the Administration predicts 75-80 million people will lose their insurance next year when the employer mandate goes in effect.
"I think we are going to see a bigger blood bath than in 2010."
...Americans want Republicans to repeal it?

(39,078 posts)program since Clinton. I have reported a couple positive results here myself. The thing of it is outside of DU and a little on MSNBC I haven't heard any positive stories. We are getting killed by the MSN. People are angry over it even more so than in 2010. Every single day I pick up the paper and there is at least one new problem with the ACA reported.

...you should ignore the media's anti-Obamacare spin.

I mean, everyday tens of thousands of people are signing up.

(39,078 posts)and same goes for the evening programs on MSNBC. We are losing the PR war big time. I am a supporter of the ACA and have more doubts about it every day.
"That may be true but who the hell reads DU that isn't a Democrat to start with and same goes for the evening programs on MSNBC. We are losing the PR war big time. I am a supporter of the ACA and have more doubts about it every day. "
...does reading DU have to do with the fact that tens of thousands are signing up everyday?
You seem to want to believe the negative.
Seriously, Republicans are not winning the health care debate.

(39,078 posts)DU that are going to vote for a Democrat no matter what and a few more that watch MSNBC. Look at the
polls on the ACA! For every one success story on DU and MSNBC there are 20 horror stories in the MSM.
Signing people up for Medicaid is not going to save the ACA, there has to be young healthy paying customers for it to work
otherwise insurance premiums will go through the roof in 2015. I think in 2014 the Republicans will likely take control
of the Senate and increase their hold on the House.

...is completely inaccurate. You really need to look into how the ACA is financed.
