No. I am just saying there were flaws with the ACA joeglow3 Nov 2014 #77

No it sounds like the truth....the truth is some states didn't expand Medicaid.....they are governed VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #79

draft a bill that didn't allow the states to avoid expansion? joeglow3 Nov 2014 #80

and you think that will pass? VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #84

but they can't blame it on the ACA...what sucks is Republicans... VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #107

I am not hammering the bill, as a whole joeglow3 Nov 2014 #115

but instead of asking for help they say...."Screw the ACA" VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #116

They thought they had. But it was a 900 page bill and a SCOTUS that acts politically pnwmom Nov 2014 #95

They did! The Supreme Court ruled that it was unconstitutional. ieoeja Nov 2014 #105
