(31,454 posts)people usually don't have a problem with it. Let me state for the record, that I stand by anything I post on DU, as I do in my offline life.
I am sick to death of whiney assed "internet liberals" who have screamed for decades about people dying in emergency rooms, and walking around like ticking time bombs for lack of access to healthcare. ACA, as imperfect as it may be, will alleviate that. Wasn't that the goal? Or was it just another phoney ideological argument to make people think they actually cared?
NO. I don't give a shit about a whole bunch of belly aching, and nitpicking every decision by this administration by a bunch of malcontents who can't win elections, whether that be the shrinking Tea Party coalition, or that faction of the left who's never satisfied with anything.
Here's a notion: Why don't we, instead of joining the chorus of Teabaggin' assholes that continue to do everything in their power to ensure ACA's failure, why don't we show some patience, and actually pretend to give a shit that millions will now have access to something as basic as food & shelter, in the form of healthcare access. True liberals care about that, and most don't give a shit that they might pay a little more so that others less fortunate now have access to the same quality healthcare that they've enjoyed and taken for granted.
Here's the chance for you & the o.p. to literally "put your money where your mouth is".
