7. Supporters have not said that the bill is perfect. To the contrary. I'm almost always hearing

supporters preface their statements with "the bill is not perfect" or "I don't agree with everything" or "I take issue with" thus and so, etc. It is absolutely NOT true that "supporters" agree with everything about the ACA. What we are trying to do is counter all the falsehoods and outright misinformation about what the ACA is and what it does.

Most of us believe that we can build on the ACA. But if we do not counter the misinformation and lies about this program it cannot work and, in fact, its very existence is threatened, and I don't think something better will replace it--not in this political climate.

Why not accept the ACA--FOR NOW--then work to get something better? Why trash the thing outright because it's not 100% perfect? I don't get it. Truly I don't.
