16. You know I tried my best to get along with you during the ACA rollout

Jan 2014

I posted some nice things and agreed with you on a few points. And now you attack me for some goddamn imaginary scorn.

I got news for you Pro, I got insurance through the ACA and I am grateful that the pre-existing conditions didn't railroad me again. But it was neither the all saving grace you and your ilk seem to believe it is and it's not the huge disaster that the Republicans claim.

It's a mediocre solution to an extremely difficult problem. Yes I have posted dozens of times how I believe it is a small step in the right direction, but you go ahead and convince yourself that I am some kind of hater.

Apparently my post was right on. Not only are you looking for enemies but you are finding them where they don't exist.

From yesterday in case you think I am lying:
