Delay the ACA for a year? What are these Anarchists thinking?

All around the country the Health Care Exchanges are set up and in many cases already running. If the Anarchists had their way and implementation of the law was delayed by a year should we just lay all those people off for a year?

5. American libertarians look like anarchists, but really they are fascists.

They're too deluded to understand that you can't get rid of government. We can either have a government led by people we elect or one by people who are not elected (corporations). It's one or the other, so anyone who wants to do away with the government we have is essentially a fascist.

They don't want people to have easy access to health care. It makes the peasants less desperate, and harder to coerce.

How can you keep them slaving away if they don't have to scramble to pay $90k for Grandma's chemo?

8. Its funny, a boys 'car book' that I read as a child said exactly the same thing.

I could not even guess what book it was but back when I was a kid I read some boy's car book in which the author echoed what you said. I'm certainly paraphrasing but it went something like this: That back at the workplace the Boss liked nothing more than seeing his pert new secretary come to work one day in a brand new car. The reason was that he know with certainty that now she couldn't quit until at least it was paid for. Back in those days many car loans were for 24 months, most for 36, and anything longer was simply unheard of.

They want the implemetation delayed because they're afraid the ACA will be such a success that the people will wise up to the pack of lies Republicans have been telling us.
