7. I don't hate it, I just know it's a bailout to insurance cos. at the expense of the middle-class.

If it had effective cost containment mechanisms that benefit families like mine, I'd say it benefits me. As ACA is structured, however, we've become cash-cows for the private insurance industry. That was true, before, but now it's mandated by federal law.

And, in Italian, that's spelled "Fascismo."

El fascismo es una ideología y un movimiento político.

It isn't just for Italians, anymore.
