9. Your post is typical of what I am talking about.

You state the bill is not perfect, but you clearly have no interest talking about what is imperfect.

Then, you imply that I trash the bill and do not want to accept it. Sorry to disappoint you, I agree with accepting the ACA. I said that explicitly in the post. I have been arguing with people since a very long time that it was too late to reject ACA.

Amazingly, I find the same lack of empathy in our side (supporting ACA) than with the other side. Nobody wants to speak about the problems. At best a vague acknowledgement. Nobody wants to fix them (most of the fixes offered will not help in reality). All people want to do is to defend the law. The problem is that we look just out of touch this way than those who oppose the law, uncaring and just wanting to win. From my point of view not a good place to be in. But once again, I am more of somebody who cares about issues than politics and winning.

I just want to reiterate that I am happy for the OP. As I said, this is what the law is about. Can we make sure that it does not hurt other people in the meantime and do that without ruining the law.
