We need to admit there are some problems to be worked out, my situation is similar to Will's [View all]
My son is HIV positive. He has been under one program receiving his meds since last July. He was told not to worry, that the program would automatically and seamlessly convert to ACA in January. When he went to pick up his meds in January, it hadn't converted and he was asked for $2000 for his medication. He's been jumping through hoops without meds since January. Going off meds with HIV is dangerously complicated. He may no longer be able to take the same med that had no side effects because the virus can become immune to the drug during the lapse. This finally has been resolved and he goes back to begin treatment next week.
Almost 4 months without meds. Can you understand the panic and anger associated with that?
I only found out about this earlier this week. My son did not want to worry me.
What you NEED, lady, is for ProSense to swallow and come straighten you out with a Judi Lynn-style tsunami of self-referential links (http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=4701721)
This will only become more delicious as the year progresses. Hang on, DUmmies. Your chickens are on their way home.

Both HIV and ObamaCare were entirely preventable.
Kinda hard to feel sorry for either of them in this case.

Both HIV and ObamaCare were entirely preventable.
And you get them in essentially the same way.

They are SO screwn, and they are coming to realize that, piece by piece, and it is HILLARIOUS!
When the new, hopefully conservative, president takes office and simply declares O'bamacare "Null and Void" I don't want to hear a single word. Nothing can stop it. O'bama has shown us that all you need to change hard law is a pen and a phone.

1. My opinion is that the ACA is the single most important piece of social legislation of my lifetime.
No, wait. That isn't my opinion -- It is a fact.
I've read posts by DUers trying to tear it down for the last six years, and frankly I've found their arguments to be unconvincing. No, wait, that's not quite right. The truth is that I've found their anti-ACA crusade to be wrong-headed and maybe even a little offensive. I get that many of them are motivated by a desire for single-payer. I am also myself a supporter of single-payer. But I think wishing for the Affordable Care Act to fail is about the worst possible way to fight for single-payer. In fact, I think they are playing into the hands of Republicans who want the whole thing repealed. We sure as hell aren't going to get single-payer if the ACA is killed. More than likely we'd end up back with the shitty system we had before -- or something even worse.

Stop complaining that your shit sandwich tastes like shit.
Skins knows what side his bread's buttered on. Election season is coming, and he's counting on that DLC coin.

A perfect example of where marxism always leads.
Skins is the Dear Leader on the island of demented misfits.
No matter what they are given they soon rise up in anger and with much wailing and renting of garments they demand more!
Take note what happens DUmbasses as skins does what every leftist despot does with yammering ankle biters.
He fills in a ditch with them.
There is a DUmp purge a comin!

Another Koch brothers lie, they pay people to infiltrate DU and spread the lies that Dingy Harry says they are doing.

And yet people that used common sense will pay for both.

The assertion that owebumacare is better than the previous status quo is preposterous.
