So, the uninsured rate is now the lowest it's ever been since Gallup started polling six years ago.
Of course, it can't all be good news. House Speaker John Boehner recently stated that the impetus behind suing President Obama is his delaying of the employer mandate in the ACA. The ACA...hmm...that would be the law that House Republicans have tried to repeal how many times now?
Also worthy of note...zombie lies about the ACA that still aren't true
No one will sign up
People won't pay the premiums
Young people haven't signed up
Death panels
It will ruin our economy
We will all be thrown into a boiling pit of sewage
Seems to me like that bubble is contracting just a wee bit more than they would like:)

This is why the Republicans fought the health care law tooth and nail. They knew it would work, they knew people would like it, and they knew people would never want to let it go once they had it.
And the crazy thing is, they keep pretending it's some government takeover of health care.
It's private insurance from private companies! It's the Republican plan! But in their zeal to deny Obama any kind of victory whatsoever, they wasted years of effort and millions of dollars voting to repeal it over and over and over and over (x40) again.
To be sure, a single-payer system would have been much better, would have been easier to implement (everyone would qualify, so no need for a complicated web site) and would have been much fairer. We wouldn't be having these crazy arguments about Hobby Lobby, and companies wouldn't be in the business of insuring employees.
You are absolutely correct, Nikto.
It's just going to keep getting worse for conservatives regardless of what happens this fall. What do they stand FOR? It's all too obvious what they stand against. I still can't seem to get a straight answer for this one that isn't filled with flowery language, anger at the federal government, and utopian visions of a Randian future.
Fuck you. I've told you plenty of times that libertarians don't offer utopian visions, period.
You are the fucker that has your idiosyncratic Christian beliefs that you want to be govt policy. You are the one that still can't say "whoa, that isn't something the govt should really be doing". Fuck you you wilfully retarded shit-head.
I've also told you that we shouldn't have health insurance tied to employment - but no, all you can do is lie or distort every fucking thing you are ever told.
Why, yes - I do find that irritating.
Tonight, a two-fer!
First and on-topic, a discussion of what could be done from a libertarian perspective to improve PPACA.
And, second a subject near and dear to the heart of M - note the pic attached to the article - how to falsely represent someone else's views!
