Personally, I don't see why everyone is so dead-set against the Affordable Healthcare Act. Certainly, it's going to be expensive, especially where insurance companies seek to do as government contractors have done since time immemorian: squeeze the government for every last red cent.
I can see why people would worry about that. Especially given how there was a lot of 'take the money and run' going on just a few years ago.
What I can't understand is why the GOP is doing everything in their power to sabotage the AHA by making sure that Americans don't know what it is and how it works. Many things I've heard coming out of the mouths of Republicans (with few and rare exceptions) are either outright lies or carefully selected half-truths.
I will side with others in saying that the AHA is flawed... but I am never going to side with those that demand its repeal. I say let us come to sensible terms over amendments to the law instead of taking two steps backwards just so we make plans to take one step forward.
And let's not forget: The Federal Supreme Court itself, led by no less a person than the Honorable John G. Roberts Jr. - a card-carrying member of the GOP, has made things clear on the matter - they do not see anything really wrong with the AHA aside from some wording about penalties and taxes. Which they were kind enough to fix.
