I’ve been going through some Health Issues since Mother’s Day. I’ve noticed the waiting rooms had maybe 2% to 5% young people in them. These are the people that are supposed to balance out the system. Since they do not have High Paying Jobs to pay 100% of their Health Care they are subsidized. Just give me the Grape Kool-Aid now and let’s quit prolonging the inevitable.

Money & cost have ZERO meaning to liberals. They don't think about money the way conservatives do. Nor do they care about where it comes from or how much is left or how much we (as a country) don't have. Completely meaningless to a lib. If you run out? Print more. If someone that doesn't have a lot cries that they need some? Tax those that have it (even more). Lib's are stupid when it comes to money. All of them. Not sure about you, but when I look in the bank and find that I'm low on funds, I stop spending money. Ask a lib what they do. They'll b1tch & moan that someone owes them something. Or that they 'deserve' a handout. Or that the wealthy are too wealthy and need to pay their fair share (even more). Yeah, libs are morons when it comes to national finances. No clue about any of it.

And Brice, since you didn't post it as an "in your face" sort of thing, I'll go ahead and say it...

IN YOUR FACE. WE TOLD YOU SO.

Idiots.

The link kind of addresses some of the things conservatives were afraid of from the get go.  I didn't post it to be an "in your face" thing to the liberals or supporters of the A.C.A.  

One of the things conservative politicians had been ragging on was the cost, and the article is indicative of the true cost, which was mostly hidden with smoke and mirrors or simply made out to be "no big deal".  (Some conservative politicians had no right to speak on the subject because they had no idea what in the world they were talking about... even though they may have been accurate while repeating canned statements.)

Cost has to mean something.  We can't keep putting things like cost under the rug because sooner or later the rug will be touching the ceiling, so we have to put a lot more thought into addressing the cost of this and or any other plan the government does.  We also need to quit doing things, just to make ourselves feel good, only to feel horrible down the road.

More though, more time needs be spent on issues and a far less amount of partisanship.  Get together, figure it out.... its what you get that big check for.
