Sloooooowly I turn, step by step.

Why does all of this noise have to be in extremes?

A manageable, doable start is to resuscitate the ACA before it is too late. (Yeah. I know. I am repeating myself. I said that a buzillion posts earlier in this thread.)

They are stealthily coming after the protection of pre-existing conditions, the best part of the ACA. The cruelty of taking that protection away makes my skin crawl.

Even though many here are ensconced in Medicare, due to turning 65, surely there must be concern for younger family members and friends — and (in my dreams) concern for the overall health of the nation, both literally and figuratively.

Real solutions are there, but fixing healthcare has to be done in steps. Also, all the players have to be at the table, including insurance companies and corporations that make health insurance available to employees.

What happened to critical thinking skills — independent thinking, analytical thinking, realistic solution-seeking thinking?

Pogo was right.

(I gotta stop looking at this thread and make some phone calls to tell the people who could actually do something sensible what to do. uh huh)
