I notice that you're not even trying to deny that the ACA derived directly from the Heritage Foundation, numerous Republican Healthcare Reform Plans, Romneycare, etc. etc.
Unusually straightforward for you, Xuenchen ... are you feeling okay?

Yeah, except that the ACA is mostly based on the worst parts of Republican plans from Romneycare all the way back to the Heritage Foundation.
A liberal plan would have been single-payer, pure and simple. Make the premium Federal Cadillac plans available to everyone.
So, swing and a miss.

Why are you so much against Obamacare??!? I don't get it. Here in Denmark we pay 39-43 % Taxes depending on where you live, but for those taxes we get FREE healthcare, free schools incl. university, and we even get money for studying! The equivalent of around 1000$ a month, on top of this we can take a studentloan for another 500$.
What is honestly so bad about healthcare paid by, by the population? Rich and poor? It makes equality, instead of making the rich richer and the poor poorer.

Where were you when it was passed by the Democrats ONLY
who finagled the rules so they could pass it without
a single Republican vote.
Cooperative, my tears are flowing I'm laughing so hard.

A Republican strategy of letting the Democrats completely blow it is supposed to get them off the hook? They have their jobs as part of the checks and balances, they failed. The Republicans through inaction that could only be considered criminal negligence helped the ACA to pass. They are as equally responsible for it as everyone else.

You should be delighted to know that the republicans aren't doing a damn thing about Obamacare.
Just gonna let it sail its course. If you like your Obamacare, you....... Ahh STFU and pay for your overpriced POS plan or get fined.
Merica!

What exactly does any of that have to do with Obama Care being passed by democrats?
I don't care if Bush, Reagan, Bush, and Romney wrote the entire bill, then wallowed naked on the paper. None of that has anything to do with the BILL BEING PASSED. you may think of taking a civics course at the local community college.
we didn't want it, and the republicans didn't want it. Nobody listened and the bill was passed. (according to Pelosi, to find out what was in it.)

that sure is better. I thought you were thinking the republicans actually wanted this bill. It's a steaming turd that only a bonehead would pass. Thanks for clearing that up.

It may be smelly, and it is certainly not what the Democrats promised, but it's worst points ARE what every Republican healthcare reform bill since the late 80s/early 90s embodied: individual mandate, tax penalties, state-level exchanges.
