We ARE the grass roots, and can help ACA succeed
This post is mainly aimed at the young people in our midst. We need the young and healthy to sign up for plans in the exchanges. Our President is counting on us. So I'm interested in the perspective of the younger DU'ers; particularly the ones currently without health insurance. Have you signed up yet? Do you plan to? Whats the discussion with your friends? How do we convince them? Are you helping convince them?
Ooookay than....

2. He sure wasn't keen on our help when the thing was being written...
Single payer advocates who had worked their butts off to get him elected weren't even allowed at the table. Maybe those industry lobbyists can help the ACA succeed - they have a big profit motive.
I'll help write the next one.
Next one? Obama said we had a health care problem and he solved that.

Not to mention the fact that passage of the law is what got us our current congress. And now that everyone admits the law needs fixing the electorate isn't going to send in more Dems, they'll do just the opposite with unholy vengeance on their minds.
And then there are those poor deluded fools that think we're going to get single-payer now that we look like incompetent chumps.
Not a next one??? And more repukes in office? Okay than!! :) But maybe not if we can just pull together and support him... right? I mean wouldn't that work?

29. Why do you act like the President is entitled to support?
He is entitled to nothing. No politicians are. They earn support.

Yeah, sure. What's a few more thousand dollars a year out of my household budget anyway? What else would I spend it on besides mortgage, gas, home heating, student loans, phone, cable, clothes.
It's time I stop thinking only of myself.

10. My husband's insurance rates are getting jacked and his employer may stop offering spousal coverage.
If that happens I will have to get a separate policy just for myself which will amount to an added expense in addition to my husband's already increasing rates. I have migrated from working outside our home full time to working part time (not ACA related) while being pretty much a full time homemaker. Because of family obligations -- which I am happy to assume -- returning to the full time workforce is not in my foreseeable future.
We were content with our family situation and making strides including paying off my student loans early. We are now having to endure setbacks.
Welcome to the real world, you ****ing idiots.

One of those comments kind of stuck out.

Well then, you should be blamed for the failure, correct?
After all, you DUmbasses seem to blame the Republicans for the failure, and they weren't allowed any, input. None.
Therefore, by default, the failure is yours.

I would think that the smartest and most talented people in the world could make a very intelligent of argument for getting young and the healthy to donate $250-$300 a month for their best interests.
Oh I HAVE it!!! FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE birth control.
