We ARE the grass roots, and can help ACA succeed

[TheKentuckian]

22. You ignored the critical how and just keep trying the pep squad thing.

Most folks cannot get subsidized plans, the law was willfully designed to limit participation. There is no way to unscrew that pooch.

If success was always about participation then it is incumbent on the folks drafting the law to make participation plausible. They did not as a feature, not a bug.

They refused to let us help them. Now your answer is for already pushed folks to put themselves in even more dire straits to prop up a plan by taking a huge hit financially with the effects of the accompanying falling dominos? Seriously? At least be up front about what yo are asking here but you won't because folks will laugh at you.

It is bad enough that if I'm unfortunate with coverage but maintain my very much not rich by any measure income in the mid 30's that I'm mandated to fork over 3,100 a fucking year to the cartel for little or nothing out of my considerably less post tax income but to hell with anyone that thinks I would volunteer to do so to bandaid a boondoggle, willfully structured to maintain the current system and profit centers.

No, I won't and cannot morally promote folks putting themselves into a hole to pad the cartel's bottom line and to shine the legacy of a lame duck that worked all the scammy deals that made a tepid market based reform even fail within that feeble context much less actually advancing a sane system.
