FB: Head to desk

friend asked about ACA and how the gov't would enforce the penalty etc.

I answered factually.

Friend commented that everyone being covered would cause quality of care to go down. I linked to a study showing Mass has gotten healthier since romney care was implemented.

Friend then comments on her experience growing up with military healthcare.

I commented that I don't think everyone has a *right* to the best healthcare but everyone deserves access to healthcare

New guy jumps in and says everyone has access now. They just have to go to the ER.

I point out that we (taxpayers and insureds) pay for those who just show up at the ER can't pay.

New guy says Obama care bad

I asked what his solution was

His comment a health insurance policy for all "legitimate" americans.

  • I had this conversation with MIL 2 weekends ago, which my DH pushed me into. He was sorry that he instigated it. The convo read almost exactly like this.
    A big old middle finger to you, stupid Nest.

    I'm all for access to vote... but I'm starting to think you should have to pass a basic logic and civics test to be able to vote each election.

    Well tell him the ACA is his solution then since only American citizens will be required to have health insurance.

    oh I did... but WTF how can you be against something that does exactly what you think should be done... and how can you comment on something when you know nothing about it.
