(1,591 posts)You quoted snippets from an online news story, is that the "proof" of your position you hang your hat on ?
Your "proof" is somewhat less than impressive, I assume you read the whole story, I did. My point is that you are smart enough to see what is going on around you, ....apply what you see and experience in your world and see if there are things that don't add up to the rosy picture someone else is being paid to provide you with.
In the year that the ACA was passed into law, which included the benefit of allowing parents to keep kids on insurance policies till 26...why are there statistically more young people with insurance ? hmmm.... that's pretty complex huh. What happens to families that are currently being dropped from policies ( the tens of thousands of them) because they do not comply with the ACA, yet cannot get coverage through the ACA ?...they could suffer, but it's for the greater good huh. With the undeniable inability of the ACA websites to function even remotely correctly during the sign up phase, how confident do YOU think the general population will be that the REALLY challenging parts will operate correctly ? Like I said, the ACA requires public participation, the IRS cannot shag down enough yearly penalities to allow the ACA to operate ... a significant public participation, without it the ACA will implode. "medicare had trouble too when it first started"......is hardly the inspirational leadership that will fly with me after the decades of time, effort and treasure invested in healthcare reform preparation, so please don't link to a story with that "proof".
What you call "proof" of a position, I call regurgitating a narrow field of vision where the desire to appear informed overrides an ability to look into the full spectrum of cause and effect. I am truly one of the fortunate few, I am all but immune to the ACA tangle, which may be why it's easier for me to see the inefficiency in it's implementation, I have no skin in the "see the ACA is working" fight.
"because I say so that's why", lol..... no...because it's happening in the real world...that's why.
take care.
