Where am I misleading? You posted this: ".........Repubs aren't stupid enough to try to pass something as huge, unwieldy and unworkable as ObamaCare."

So I asked how come you guys don't or have not had the balls to repeal it?
Cowardice is why, pure and simple from the party of NO.

I’m simply astounded than anyone still supports these bumbling, cowardly Repubes, and their idiot leader and his bought-and-paid-for cabinet. Disgusted by the lot of them. They represent nothing but special interests, certainly not we the people.

You can say that again, cowards every one of them in Congress except a handful at the most. They watch as Trump is destroying their party and the credibility of the country worldwide. Steve Bannon is now the most powerful politician in the country.

Which country, including ours, has had a free-market health care system in the past half century? Not a single one, including ours.

The US has a free market medical system that Federal and state governments participate in, to provide health care for their employees (and families) and citizens who qualify for subsidized health care. The ACA has been a boon to this free market by requiring citizens who previously chose not to purchase our health care market's expensive insurance to now purchase this insurance. The ACA has taken away the citizen's freedom to not participate in the medical insurance market.

In other words, during Obama's administration the GOP came up with two alternative plans to the ACA yet have failed to enact either one since the election.

If one is forced to participate as you say then it is not really a free market system then is it? You have a way of contradicting yourself when you go after other posters just to be obtuse, as you have attempted with Finnbow.

The US economy is considered "mixed" in that various free market and so************************t aspects work together in a concerted effort to produce the maximum benefit for society. Social Security and Medicare are the most obvious examples in the health care sector.

In other words, you understood my point, notwithstanding your initial paragraph.

Informal Poll:

Who is the most passive-aggressive poster now active on Political Chat?

1. Nailer
2. DonQuixote99
3. It's a tie
4. Any other answer.


(BTW, this is a 'push poll.' No answers necessary.)
