This is what most of us are saying but it is being twisted into we not sympathizing but being snarky mockers that are making fun of people that are suffering.

Piss on that shit is right, FUCK THEM! The ACA is a miracle for so very many people and I am not going to be ashamed of celebrating the fact that it was Obama that made it happen. I am not going to call him vile names just to appease some toddler tantrums to make them quieter or to prove that I am not a horrible human being to those fuckers.

I will always sympathize with people that are having a hard time because nothing is perfect and never will be, there will always be misery somewhere because we as a human race allowed misery to be king of profits but I am not going to just stand there like a stupid goat and take the insinuations and the lies and the accusations. fuck that noise.

Apparently the Nouveau Attack towards me and other 'furiners' now is that I should not be able to speak about ACA at all because I am from Canada and if I do put in my opinion, I am mocking everyone because I have good coverage and not everyone in the States does - so that makes me evil as I sit back in my comfortable full coverage and gloat and point fingers and laugh at you guys. Yah. what fucking shit.
