If you did, why would you not support working within the framework of ACA to attack the cost instead of repeal and start over ?

Just curious...everyone is for tax cuts but this is a very irresponsible bill in my opinion and we are being lied to about what it will or will not do. But, it probably will pass, because despite the ramifications, these folks need to pass something.

I agree with some of your posts on entitlement spending, but not based on the Presidents emotional tweets and statements. I believe he wants a "cultural war" in this country and I see no good coming from that...it sure will not bother him at all.

In any case, just curious
Well no sense answering any of the questions I posed...instead ask me questions.

Well I had the "luxury" of paying for my healthcare as owner/ self employed. Of course you would have no idea of cost increases brought by Obammacare, you are not involved in that side of your policy. You are a mushroom being kept in the dark, but the sun might shine all of a sudden one day when your former employer can't afford to provide it any longer. You just won't have any warning. Think Enron, Arthur Anderson, Canwest, A&P, and other companies gone in a blink of an eye...no healthcare for the former employees.

My policy is thru United Health and has been in effect for over 27 years. I have not switched to Obammacare as there was no improvement in rates, just changes to providers and term.

Your last paragraph is ironic. The only way to end entitlement spending will be a cultural war. The CULTURE must be changed. It should not be acceptable to have numerous children with no source of income other than money that was taken from someone else's pocket (someone that works hard, someone that makes sacrifices and assumes risk, someone that is more motivated, stronger, and smarter). Shame should be attached to asking for handouts!

Don't waste your breath about people needing short term help. That is the responsibility of family not government. When the government gets involved, 3 generations later they are still holding their hands out.
