(82,383 posts)I could kick a thread from page 20 if I wanted and say the same thing someone else said. There's nothing to stop that on DU unless you think you will find a jury to hide it.
They asked, but you are insensitive in your tone. You could have pointed out that red states have no expanded Medicaid, thereby blocking the advantage the ACA gives to people who make more than qualifies them for Medicaid and less than gets them a good policy. And that is a problem with the ACA that we could address, if only we didn't have Republicans in state houses who got there because we did not get out enough of the vote due to 5 years of complaining that the US Senate did not have enough votes, even in a liberal 2 year term, to make a law that would stop that from happening.
Instead you said "you got yours" which doesn't even make sense in lights of a socialistic type of law. The ACA is the epitome of a giveaway to the right wing people, who are usually the ones who make that statement, being as they have theirs and didn't need the ACA in their opinion, and are even against Medicaid too, since they have theirs and don't care about poor people.
Instead of being angry at your fellow state voters who allowed Republicans to take the state government and ignore the ACA and fail to expand medicaid. Or at least being mad at the Republican governor.
