123. Saving 45,000 Americans from death each year is not a "minor political victory for a small group."

I can't believe you stand by "the cost of saving the hostages by surrendering to the terrorists is too high." I guess it is easy for you to bash the ACA as some sort of hostage negotiation with terrorists when you're safely on medicare, but my brother's life will be saved by the ACA, as will 45,000 Americans every year. And 33 million uninsured Americans will now be covered. You ignore all this and just blindly say "you got nothin."

The corporations already controlled healthcare for those of us not on government-paid care. At least now we some protections regarding how they treat us, like they can't dump us if we get sick and they can't refuse to insure us if we have pre-existing conditions. And the ACA sets up a framework for states to implement single payer, like Vermont is doing. This is not a surrender by any definition, nor does it move the country "further to the Conservative Right."

I really don't get why you are so angry about the ACA. But if 45,000 Americans being saved from the grave each year is too "small" a group to impress you, then I guess we have nothing further to discuss.
