The right needs to be honest and just come out and admit that they don't really care if the poor or unhealthy...have health insurance.

One of the main problems with the ACA, is that the penalty for not having healthcare is too low and consequently the large pool of those who don't 'think' they need it...would rather pay the penalty.

Whether it be home/car/health/etc insurance to work (with private insurers), means you will ALWAYS have to have those who won't use it so that here is enough money for those who will...and that isn't happening with the current form of ACA.

Having people paying that don't use it, is the ONLY WAY ANY insurance model can be sustained...unless the government is using tax money to pay for it.

The fact that the overwhelming majority of Americans support insurance coverage for pre-existing conditions (even a large number of hard-core righties)...has been well established.

The problem with that is the FACT that they either aren't smart enough, or refuse to think about how insurers can afford to do that...without having a large pool of healthy participants.

It is no different than the requirement to carry vehicle insurance, even if you have never filed a claim. Why is it that most people accept that we should protect an inanimate object...but not a fellow citizens life?

What continues to amaze me are the vast numbers of heartless Americans that have the 'I got mine, screw you' mentality.

The answer for many on the right, is that they think someone is getting something they didn't earn (and in some cases, that is true) so they would rather watch other American citizens suffer...than let that small % get health insurance.

To me, that is the ultimate in selfishness and black-hearted thinking/philosophy...that I don't believe this great country stands for.

So, as I said, this country needs to decide if the health of its citizens is something that is more important than protecting its automobiles...or nothing will change.

As for the ACA 'imploding,' either through ignorance, or lack of knowledge, or even outright denial, critics of it forget that healthcare premiums and the cost of healthcare... had been rising dramatically and unabated for decades.

Which was LONG before ACA.

I wish you people on the right would just be honest enough to come right out and admit that since the people who are most helped by ACA (or single-payer) are the poor, minorities, women and the ones not as fortunate as a lot of us...so you don't really care about them anyway.

So c'mon you cold-hearted and lying righties, just stand up and go ahead and admit that you don't give a $hit about those people...because we all know it by your actions anyway.

And if you by some chance aren't actually part of that selfish, cold-hearted and Un-American right-wingers...take a minute to stop and think about what I mentioned above.

Here's a good article that spells out the fundamental party differences...that is at the root of our national healthcare issue.
