In reply to the discussion: One has absolutely NOTHING to do with the other. Leave it to Nina to conflate the 2. [View all]

That 1000s (millions?) will lose their jobs if there isn't some sort of transitional plan in place more than just "Get rid of the parasites! M4A!"
This isn't some sort of sudden shift in industry, this is the government and leaders saying "We're going to do away with your job." And then wonder why they aren't thanking us for giving them a different insurance plan than what they already had.
I'm not sure why that is so difficult to understand. But apparently some people just don't care because "they're parasites" who can just get CSR jobs when they're laid off.
And they don't understand that this shift will cause massive unemployment and cost us votes if there isn't some serious talk about how it's going to be done beyond sloganeering and belittling the people it will affect.

How's this ... if you claim you are 'pro-life', you should support universal health care

They can't even explain M4A so the go-to sell is 'universal health care!'. Which it is not

When you can propose a plan that actually would work and line up the votes, let me know.

ACA still costs money. Less than COBRA, for sure, but if you've lost your job...

That is untrue. My husband would likely be dead without the ACA and my daughter crippled.
