I'd have moved away from him immediately. It's not worth it to be around that - but you may have more time and patience.
The OBS in this country has been paid for and promoted more than any other product, it's everywhere. It soaks into the people's minds.
Some are willing themselves into a coma, scared by what doesn't match their past which was likely a fantasy. That's not in the moment.
The pundits selling the most of this are pushing a whitewashed past and a horrible prophecy of the future, until the present when we are able to do good things is lost.
From an ACA success story:
"Before Obamacare, Isaac's pre-existing conditions could have disqualified him from future coverage. Isaac and his family would have had a difficult if not impossibletime finding insurance that would cover him. And his parents estimate that if lifetime limits were still legal today, Isaac would have already reached his a second time."

This is the joy of the present. Really, it's all we have. If we don't have joy, we remember that everything passes, good and bad, and that's change.

Okay, off track. The ACA has been saving lives for years now, it's been ignored by media and hyped a website going awry.
I just don't see anything to be hated on there.
