    dude this is such a pedantic viewpoint the narrowness and specificity of new regulations made this practically impossible, seriously a $5 change in the plan nullifies it, combine that with the new "essential health benefits" that adds stuff that 1/2 the population literally will never use and...

    do you have any idea how many times democrats on this board say things like "people are too stupid to vote their own interest", or "there's too many stupid people and they breed faster than smart people" and shit like that, they literally feel empowered to think they know better than most people.

    it needs to be and that's a natural bargaining chip to compromise for a single payer system. it's not that hard to demonize insurance companies even to conservatives.

    probably still prefer not to be micromanaged by some bureaucrat but what part of "compromise" didn't you get? small business would trade that regulation for decoupling the cost of insurance from employment. democrats often call republicans "angry" however there is more than one democrat in...

    yeah I know it was such a scathing rebuke of obamacare when I stated "in the most extreme conditions, X could theoretically happen" and they do have to pay attention it doesn't happen. I've seen it talked about in white house statements it's not something I made up.
