ORIGINAL: Arturas Wait, wait... I think "lie" is a bit overstated. I'm not quite sure he ruined the healthcare system yet since most of the law has not been enacted and there are quite a few good things in Obamacare that we would like to keep. Nobody knows for sure since the law is so damn big having been written in two thousand seven hundred pages (2700 pages!) and if Pelosi would not read it then I'm sure I don't need to. Well, it seems "obvious" that we need to fire anyone who does this poorly. We should also start with Romneycare and see what we want to do with that since Obama claims he got the idea from Romney. The other statements are obvious truths. Its YOUR JOB as an American citizen to read the Affordable Care Act from cover-to-cover and understand ALL the contents within. Didnt the Founding Fathers state that citizens should know and understand what their goverment is doing? Least it slip quickly or gradually towards a tyranny. By you not reading the bill that was passed, you become open to other people's opinions, views, and agendas. While things may sound like you could agree with them, by voting or giving support may be giving such things to persons unfit to be in power in the country's goverment. I've read the law. Shortly after it passed. I even read the President's version (which was better). I'd have to review the document again just the familiarize myself with some of the middle to minor level points. But I'm in the extreme minority of US Citizens that have done their job and homework as the Founding Fathers demanded. You, Arturas, have come out and said 'Its to hard', 'its to complicated', 'since I am to dumb to understand, no one can understand it'. Or what ever else, lame, conservative excuse for pushing bad goverment your on this week! As I said, the President's initial proposal was far better than the ACA of 2010. It worked financially for the country, would have made things easier for Americans to understand their health coverage and care. BUT......Republicans killed the idea as soon as possible. When the proposal came out, those conservatives with a brain and know how to use it, quickly came out with concepts that had nothing to do with the proposal. They managed to convince millions if not tens of millions of Americans from not reading it, understanding it, and maybe even agreeing 'thats the direction to go in'. At that time, if the bill passed, not only would have it been good for Americans and health care companies, it would have shown to an even greater number of independents and some conservatives, that President Obama was the right guy in the right place at the right time, so solve other more complicated and complex problems (like the economy). Republicans pounced on it, for political reasons, NOT, for decent, honest, honorable, or wise ones.
