Bullshit for the mushrooms

[hosepipe]

I find rhetoric like this fascinating because it’s so completely detached from reality. If the ACA were really causing “devastation” – and “millions” of U.S. job losses, as Cruz claimed yesterday – it’d be pretty obvious.

Lots of things are not OBVIOUS to the BLIND..

Exactly.

I wonder if this guy is one of the stupid voters that Gruber was referring to.

“The recent successes of the Affordable Care Act “

Author starts off by picking his nose and eating it, what successes?

[Bullish]

I’ll bet you a dollar to a doughnut this guy has a “husband”.

[liberalh8ter]

I like this author, he saved me the time I'd have spent reading this by putting, "The recent successes of the Affordable Care Act", right up front. On to the next thread.

[b4its2late]

Good point. LOL

[GeronL]

that was my first question too

[TheDon]

Steve is living in “The Bubble”. Must be nice.

[central_va]

So Steve which Obamacare™ plan are you on?

[faithhopecharity]

It’s either gross stupidity or just more Transformational commie propaganda for the dick-Tator in charge. Either way, it serves the brainwashing purpose.

[dead]

It was a rough break up.

C’mon, FReepers......you are all missing the real point. If a Leftist SAYS IT, IT IS TRUE. Period.....or true at least until we get unbiased reporting. If there was an unbiased Media, America would not be in the precarious state it is in.

[Fungi]

That was the clue and why I stopped reading....

[Nateman]

The closer to actual repeal it gets the bigger the lies are going to be.

[Vigilanteman]

What a nimrod. Maybe he’d like to explain why my deductible went up, my co-pay went up and the restrictions on the medical network increased. And I still consider myself pretty damn lucky because I’m working for an industry leading Fortune 500 company which did so much better than most others.

To the Free Republic Moderator:

It appears that several leftwing sites such as MSNBC, are routinely posting looney articles on FR.

Perhaps the downloads are by a computer program.

I do not think the looney left should dump their garbage by automatic download.

[Maelstorm]

It is a train wreck and has acted as a headwind to economic recovery and there is still plenty of problems to come given that many plans are still “grand fathered” in that will eventually lose that status. Also simply by improving the uninsured numbers does nothing to improve quality of care and will cause an increasing deficit of health care workers and costs will increase even if someone is one of those that doesn’t see them because they are on a medicare plan of some sort. There is no free lunch.
