The Affordable Care Act

[MikeG22]

It'll be paid for by an additional sales tax just like Canada which seems to be working rather well. The rich spend more they pay more. Those cell phones bills you were referring to before there ya go. Don't tax needs, tax wants.

Come the next election it may not be a republican house anymore as well.

That's how it was sold to the left by President Obama. All the pissant right can remember is, "If you like your shitty plan, you can keep it."

Oh, no. We also remember "if you like your doctor you can keep him", and that we'll all "save $2500 per year".

We don't need the health insurance industry at all. They are nothing but parasites.

Dave

They still need the health insurance industry in Canada. Are they parasites up there too?

Politicians lie?!???? No sh!t, bro. Mebbe 'Lyin' Ryan will decide to get off the dime and help with this messed up boogie?

Nah, whut am I thinkin'... Never happen.

Either way, it still doesn't rise up to Watergate levels of outright lying or even the fairy tale whoppers that Saint Ronnie of RKO told us. I've got to admit that I never fell for that "I didn't inhale" bs that 'Big Dog' Clinton was selling, though.
