Trust me when I tell you my feelings aren't hurt by your vitriol.
I largely dont use Obamacare as I get insurance through my employer....don't have a pre existing condition....or have any prescriptions. My life wasn't impacted significantly by the ACA's passing it won't be significantly impacted by it going away. I just give a shit about making positive steps forward.
And that's really he biggest obstacle congressional Republicans have now. Their mandate from the loudest voices in their base is to get payback for LVFritz and his constipated buddies. It's a great platform when you're out of power.....it's disasterous when you have to actually govern and put forward real solutions. Good luck

Obama care does nothing to actually improve health care except to create more federal control. It doesn't solve the high cost of medications nor to lower the cost of health care. It's designed to fail and create the pathway for a single payer system. Obama care did it's best to take people off their current insurance and force them to buy health insurance through the exchanges at an increased cost for benefits some won't ever use (like womens health services for a man).
My sister is getting hit again this year as she can't afford health care for her and her kids and the credit to pay premiums doesn't cover the cost.
Obama care was based upon the healthy paying for the sick, the young people who don't use health insurance are better off paying the penalties instead of buying health insurance as it is more cost effective. That's just one reason why this law is failing.
Btw, Democrats didn't allow any debate on the ACA, just a vote.
