In reality, you have a lot at stake with the ACA failing, so the numbers stay down.
First you say 53/54 %, then you say the 60% range.
And at all times you ignore Medicaid Expansion because that hurts your GOP.
The constant whining about how the ACA was passed is really getting old with everyone,
especially considered the 5+ year Greedy Obstruction Paranoias who have intentionally sabotaged the President.
You need to change your signature and lean, as you are clearly GOP/McConnell .
Sure, 53/54% of all Americans are against the ACA, 60% of all independents are against the ACA. Numbers match. MY GOP, I don't think so. If I had my way both parties would be tossed on the trash heap of history. Both parties owe their heart and soul to the big money donors, to corporations and Wall Street firms, to lobbyist and special interest, to Pacs and Super Pacs, to the moneyed elite.
You take my opposition to one issue as being pro-republican or a republican. Can't an old Reform Party member be against the ACA without being a Republican? Perhaps not in today's world. I do not think I ever defended Bush the second, perhaps I have when comparing the amount of debt he ran up vs. what Obama has run up, but that defense was more in condemnation of both, not for either one. I defended Bill Clinton and get called an Obamabot. I said cutting the deficit to 500 plus billion was a good thing. It is about time. I say whether or not a woman should have a abortion or not is up to the woman, I support gay marriage and I am called a lib. I defended Obama on the Ukraine and am always defending the first lady, now would a Republican do that? Or would someone who makes up his mind one issue at a time and takes his stance regardless of party.
but none of that is important, it is always one stance on one issue that determines whether one is a con or a lib. I am from Georgia and yes, I am a lot more conservative than those from the northeast or perhaps even the midwest. Goldwater was my first political mentor and then Perot rubbed a lot of good stuff into that mix. My main three beefs with Obama, actually two with Obama and one with Reid is adding 7 1/2 trillion to the debt, the ACA and the nuclear option.
Usually I let this stuff roll off my back and just chuckle about it. You, my friend should know better. As for medicaid. what good does it do to expand it. Only 60% of the doctors nationwide will accept medicaid patients/insurance. Why? Because they lose money on each medicaid patient. New Jersey expanded medicaid, but only 40% of New Jersey's doctors will see anyone who is on medicaid. If expanding medicaid really helping people out? I think not. It is just making a bad situation worse. Unless the reimbursement rate are increased, all expanding medicaid does is make those who expanded it feel good about themselves. In reality they have just put more people into a pool that does not have enough doctors today who accept medicaid and the patients on it now.
As I told Greenie, for me medicaid and the ACA are two different things. I think medicaid can be fixed and made to work, I think the ACA is way too flawed. By the way, I am not a Republican, I am a card carrying Reform Party member. There ain't many of us and most of us are in Virginia up through New Jersey, but we still do exist and we did run our own presidential candidate in 2012. But I didn't vote for him, I voted for Johnson. End of rant.
