No, Obamacare is not making your insurance premiums go through the roof.

88. Not much agreement really

but I do want to work harder on being kind when disagreeing.

I thought he caved by offering us the ACA. Different perspectives. I still think the exploding cost of the private system was bringing about a crisis which would have led to eliminating the profit motive from the system, which was a parasite at risk of killing its host. With the ACA, the host will be kept alive enough that the insurance corporations will be well fed indefinitely.

Medicare was not a for-profit plan written by insurance lobbyists, the ACA was, so that's not a good comparison.

And why should Republicans not like it, or why should we care? It was their plan originally. It's Dems that got screwed, our plans were kept "off the table" from the beginning.

Hopefully we can find our way to single payer eventually, that we can probably agree on. If you want the last word go for it, I've said my piece here.
