Grifter-In-Chief owns it, republicans own it. They've worked...

.....tirelessly to destroy the ACA from the moment it was signed. ALL their energy and efforts over the last 7+ years went into destruction, hate and retribution. They've defunded ACA, lied about it, held many Americans hostage to never having a chance from benefiting from it - especially by keeping it out of red states (thereby the citizens). They've kept taxpaying Americans from accessing appropriate health care for the last 7 years by adversely affecting markets with their defunding games. How many citizens have died during that time? That blood is on their hands.

It's so sad because, literally, they could have made it the best health care on earth - everything's there to do it with. They could have come out of this smelling like the proverbial rose. They could have made a - I dare use the term, yes, - YUuggGE impact on their party's longevity. They could have chosen the high road and made changes to include more, change the marketing for balance so no one need be penalized then taken credit for fixing and refining health care. Their hate and racism prevented them from doing such. Greed is their creed, destruction of anything having a whiff of President Obama their goal, "retribution" their method.

They've shown, as individuals and as a party, they're vengeful, greedy, small minded and pitifully short-sighted with no governing skills. The majority of current senior appointments in advisory positions are career business professionals and seek the voters indulgence for 'learning curve mistakes'. Bullshit! If any of us worked for them in the business world, we'd have been fired quicker than the snap of fingers for the lacks of professionalism, consistency of leadership and government knowledge they've displayed. It's considered smart, not to mention RESPONSIBLE, to possess basic knowledge/acumen for any position you apply for BEFORE YOU BEGIN THE JOB. You should not be surprised upon being fired when displaying a failure of basic knowledge/acumen to perform the duties you were hired. Managing government is no different. Who the fuck goes into a career change expecting OJT will be the only training you need???? People with larger egos than sense of responsibility, IMHO. Who the fuck hires someone under those conditions???? Not a damn one of them I bet.

We've learned well the republican party is good at pointing fingers, blaming everyone else and taking no responsibility for their actions - and inactions as the case may be. They lie about it. They cheat. They're mean-spirited and narrow-minded. There's more than enough of their party that are racist, which is poor representation for this country and decisive. It's there on display for all the world to witness that investing oneself in such negativity kills the soul, the spirit of a human being.

Enough legislators have taken bribes from corporations that they no longer represent voters, workers. This is why unions, workers rights and individuality had been stripped away. This has played to attempting to make people dependent on corporatism. Insurance being one group. When your health is controlled, you're life is controlled. Who controls it is key to controlling you as a worker. They play on voters fears. Consider that aspect carefully. Don't fall for the message that it's complicated. Delivery of health care is pretty simple - educated professionals deliver to those requiring it. Greed complicates it.
Insurance greed. Pharmacy greed. Legislators guaranteed that insurance middlemen would bring down costs, remember? Geez, Reagan said deregulation of MaBell would guarantee phone bills under $20.00 a month due to free market competition. All competition did was agree among themselves to divy up markets to increase profits. Auto insurance has produced the same results. Same thing with health care. Patients are paying with their very lives because of legislators and industry greed.

Good can come of this negative insanity because bullshit can be good fertilizer. Renewal of citizenship and national soul can come from this. I see people observing, reconsidering their lives and choices based on their observations. It may take decades, yet citizens will use this negativity for evolving themselves and this nation.

And I sincerely hope that elephant walks away from all representation of republicans.

The debacle of health care has been created by republicans hatred, complicated by trump's ego and their mutual desire for retribution... and they both own the fall out as well as the resulting loss of life.

all the things stated in this post would be true. But when the Repubs pay very little for their inhumane policies and ideas, there's very little chance that the Dems will benefit by the Repubs inhumane policies and irrational and even insane attitudes.

If we had HAND-COUNTED PAPER BALLOTS, W wd never have been elected in 04, and the huge number of Repubs who benefited by rigged elections wd not have been able to pursue their inhumane policies.
