The real fun starts when the employer plans just start getting dropped because they don't meet the profit-based definition of a good healthcare plan via ACA, which was written by the Insurance Companies JUST TO MAKE MORE MONEY. It wasn't a lack of definition by Politicians that made me oppose it. I'd love to pay less, get better coverage, and keep the medical professionals I have come to trust with my health, unfortunately, we were lied to hand over fist to pass legislation so "we would find out what was in it." Imagine if your me for a second and you pay 126 bucks a month on your USAA Auto Insurance Plan, this provides full coverage for both your vehicles and even your desert toys with a $500 deductible. Now imagine if someone told you that you have to take this new plan because they said so that requires me to pay 500 a month, won't cover my desert toys, and the deductible is now $1000. And I have to do this because there are people out there who can't afford their own insurance so I have to help them pay for it. It's not like I am going to get a raise tomorrow and I have made things work very well thus far with a single income family that barely makes over 50% Area Median Income and now I have to factor a bunch of extra money into my monthly expenditures and I can't even insure my desert toys now. Not everyone has Auto insurance now, hell, not everyone even drives. But not everyone has healthcare now, hell, some people don't want it. I think in a very misguided effort to promote "fairness" they've made things very unfair. The people that work have to pay for those that don't. I don't want to subsidize someone else's insurance and they certainly shouldn't have to subsidize mine.

And as for the silly website that everyone is complaining about: Maybe they shouldn't have opted to outsource the jobs, contracts, and money to another country. Or to a company where a bunch of the ACA's supporters friends work.

Right or Left, Everyone is crooked. LeftVSRight.jpg
Despite the WOT and run on sentences, I get what you are saying.

Times are tight. Money is tight. We all feel that.

But we do pay taxes to our own government rather than a foreign power which is the basis of our country.

When you speak about "everyone is crooked" I take that as no faith in either party! If that is the case what is the solution? What can be more fair than American politics?
