I think that CFrance was absolutely correct in her assessment of the ACA.

By the way, the Affordable Care Act is not a "bill". It was a bill until it was signed into law. It is now a law.

My take on what Rags said is the corrupt and disheartening process by which the bill was passed into law soured many of us. It's like ... are you guys kidding? It was done via parliamentary tricks and the obfuscations of the type Gruber has come to personify. There were other ways to solve the problem instead of this approach.

This is supposed to be a democracy (well, actually a republic) where we compromise and work things out ... vs stuffing it down the other party's throat via raw political power. This is why it still rankles over half the population.
