(32,640 posts)24. Whether it makes sense to you or not wasn't the point of my post.
The point is what public opinion actually as it stands for MFA and the ACA.
Is that clearer?
Your characterization of those who support the ACA as being "demeaned"might also be considered really insulting to the hundreds of thousands who had a pre-existing condition, or their kid did, and couldn't either get or afford insurance until the ACA.
Or the hundreds of thousands that didn't qualify for Medicaid until the ACA...
So there's that.
The ACA is better than nothing but there's no way anyone would choose ACA over M4A. It makes no sense.
There has never been a choice between the ACA and MFA - only a theoretical question on polls. MFA has never made it as far as the ACA did. The only choice has been the ACA or nothing. To argue as if there was an actual choice between the ACA and MFA (as you imagine it to be) right there in front of you is what "makes no sense."
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
