Let me quote what he said,

"...find a way to let people keep their health coverage, even if it means changing the law."

Uh, Willie? NO!

The policies were junk and garbage. They were virtually worth NOTHING and not going to provide for most of the people carrying them. Only when
they were swamped with bills from cancer or a horrific car accident, that they find out that they almost non-existent help.

Willie, you need to zip it on this.

p.s.

So I take my 92 year old Mom to her "pain management" office today. For months, the office manager (who is really nice to Mom and bends over backwards to get us appointments as needed...but is pretty much white hillbilly trash) has been, under breath, complaining about Obaammaa Care was at it again today. Also as we sat waiting for some papers, there were numerous other patients checking out...all "senior" (translation, on Medicare or maybe even MediCal), over weight with canes and walkers (sorry for the physical notation but it was not helping any of their knees, hips or backs), white, with either no co-pay or a $5 co-pay...and every single one of them made some kind of "...just wait until that OBAAMMA and his Obammaa Care take away your healthcare" comment.

Makes my blood boil. These idiot don't know shit about the ACA but just bash, bash, bash. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
