You are basically saying that if someone asks for dark chocolate they should be happy that they got white chocolate because hey at least it is chocolate. And everyone knows that they are not even close.

Yay, more are covered under insurance, AND there are still huge gaps, income issues for many, and Medicaid is not a guarantee in all states. That is a major failure of the ACA and allowed by Obama who pushed it through. That states can opt out means it is not universal nor a help to all.

I don't accept half measures. Sometimes it really is ok to say, no if I can't have what is really good for me or for us, then no I don't want a watered down substitute that may or may not be as beneficial. You disagree. So be it.
