What transpired from the government concerning the need during those 5 years since I leave to people like you who argue that they are more enlightened.
As for liberals their well intentioned activities have advanced an entitlement state and have poisoned the minds of students with their anti-capitalist.
anti-nationalism can you say Bill Ayers or Ward /Churchill?
Because of ACA I have to search out supplement this year as my employer is savvy enough to recognize that prices are going to go out of sight and deductibles and co-insurance increase but we have the satisfaction of knowing the big O found room in ACA to accommodate the recent flood of illegals complements of taxpayers.
You also do not mention the tight and exclusive control government will possess with this newly organized healthcare system

And staying on topic of whether the ACA resulted in a CVS pharmacist denying you a shot, the answer is no. I will not attempt to refute your other errors as they are not germane to this thread. And I don't understand why when you have been informed that if you had a pneumonia (PCV-23) shot at age 65 or older you do not ever need a second dose you nonetheless insist that you are going to try to get one again. If the information you provided is true, that you and spouse received a dose at age 65 you are done, no more needed pneumonia shots. Clear and understood? If you don't believe my post, and there is no reason you should, please click on the links I provided giving the CDC and ACIP guidance for the shot. Just to further confuse you, 2 weeks ago the ACIP proposed adding the pediatric PCV-13 vaccine which is a different with some overlap set of antigens. Should this recommendation be accepted then there will be a suggestion of a different pneumonia vaccine to be given 12 + months after the PCV-23. But that is completely new and not implemented. Note the word preview in the link.
