“Obamacare for the Internet”

For all its flaws the ACA has worked out relatively well for most people. Is that a tactic that finds any purchase with anyone not already in the bag?

I understand its primary reason and you play to the base, but this seems short sighted even for the zodiac killer.

Ted Cruz knows that people were for the ACA and against Obamacare, so that’s why he says this

  Do you mean Rafael Cruz the migrant ? If people start to call it by his real name, and his status it would have some effects. I doubt the GOP would elect someone who isn’t US born with a sound like latin forst name.

I don’t know the individual mandate really messed me up one year. My workplace and the exchange were too expensive so I get fined for not having enough money. Meanwhile my employer’s health insurance company made bank.

If the ACA had gone through without the individual mandate I would have been a lot happier. Go ahead and argue with me but unless you have a few hundred dollars to give me I am very unlikely to change my views. And before you start, yes I live in a state where the rate isnt $0.
