    I'm wondering, has health care been made more affordable after the 16 day empasse or was it just an exercise in futility?

    Do you...

    A) Throw a bunch of shingles out and hope they stick?

    B) Insist that everyone buy a roof just like yours whether they need it or not?

    C) Hire a qualified contractor to make it just like new?

    I could've asked the same question when Obamacare was being forced upon us .What your side did was patch a small leak with a sledge hammer.

    Obama Care doesn't go far enough. I say cut out the middle man altogether. The rest is just half steppin'.

    Forced? How long was it discussed and how many revisions did it go through?

    And they still can't get it right.

    Quote:

    Obamacare has been a different story. Universal health care was promised, not to address a high-profile headline crisis, but because President Obama's twenty-something speechwriter wanted an applause line for a campaign speech.

    The poorly drafted bill was passed almost entirely on party lines by exceedingly narrow margins -- and in the face of majority negative public opinion.

    We didn't ask for it, we didn't want it and now we're stuck with poorly planned, abysmally executed, unequally enforced disaster and we're supposed to cross our fingers and hope for the best. That's a stupid way to run the country, and if it had been Republicans doing it you would never hear the endless drumbeat to get rid of it.

    It's a work in progress. That was said from the get-go.

    Naw we would have helped you fix it, like Part D. We have always worked with and helped republican presidents, sure we holler and called names and impeached a crook or two, but we never let the loonys shut things down, and make things worse.

    Affordable health care and mandates was a conservative idea, so try and keep up and reject the loony notion that it was dreamed up by Obama. Its been in the works for decades now and rising costs was the reason then, as it is now.

    You loony's and your "hidden" racism is DISGUSTING!

    PS, YOU is the collective YOU, not the personal one, so don't get your underwear all jammed up in your crack.

    In an ideal world, what would you want?

    I don't have any presumptions about an ideal world or a desire to achieve one . Our system was designed for an imperfect world governed by imperfect humans.
    Quote:

    what is government itself, but the greatest of all reflections on human nature? If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary. In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself.
