Why what the GOP did with the ACA is the worst thing possible.

By just defunding it, and leaving the law in place, people are still mandated to have insurance under the law or get penalized. Whether they can afford it or not. No subsidies.

Push the people down and then kick them, The GOP plan.

This is simply a way to show how much they hate the black president and the people who voted for him.

How anyone could vote for a republican after this is beyond me, but I am a decent, honest, relatively good person. So it is a given that I could not.

with the Democratic party. They are desperate to force the Dems into working with them because they do not want to own this. The Dems need to stand strong and keep shoving it down their collective throats, " you broke it, you own it." and don't even think about flinching.
