In reply to the discussion: Skinner on the ACA [View all]Trust Buster
(7,299 posts)I've been enjoying DU headlines for a year now but just recently decided to actively post. I've been doing some heavy battle on another forum with wing nuts for years. I find this site to be a refreshing change of pace and more constructive. Not that I don't value diverse opinion, but let's be real, the Right wing's position has been set in stone my whole lifetime and never changes with the times. Ergo, their problem.
Regarding the ACA, we must not let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Any legislation that affects 1/6 of our economy is bound to have rough edges in it's nascent stage. I choose to focus on the larger vision. This is the first time in my life that the healthcare reform boulder has gone from an immovable initiative to one that's now rolling and in play. The shackle that has blinded employee to employer has been broken and the self determination that flows from that alone makes the ACA worth it's price in gold IMO.
