33. I support the ACA as a step on the path to single payer. If that makes me "conservative" then

what-ever.

You still haven't told me how you are going to persuade a GOP House to approve single payer. And while you come up with that, tell me what we should do in the meanwhile--toss ACA out, because it's not "perfect?" Would that work for you?

Making "sit-on-your-ass" comments is non-responsive. I'm still waiting for you to respond substantively instead of playing snark games that include false accusations.
