>> You are all about promises made that you expect to be kept turnkey, costs that are not going down, things the law doesn't do to increase available doctors, ERs busier than ever, the CBO was wrong and on with the litany of negativity.

Promises were made, but there is nothing new about it. Milton Friedman famously pointed out that if you put the federal government in charge of the Sahara, there would be a shortage of sand within five years.

Most of us understand this. Some don't want to understand it. Others are seeking power and frankly don't care.

What we are seeing is a government put in charge of far more than half of our healthcare system, and the resultant shortages. Government is notoriously horrible at resource allocation; always has been, and frankly, the Framers knew it.

The ACA has been, to date, highly destructive. It can be fixed but the president is intransigent. The ACA has never, in its existence, been popular, but is less popular today than ever before. It has, in a great many cases, wrecked the lives of the ordinary people it was supposed to improve.

Yet, the Left continues to support it for political, not practical, reasons. You tell me how you justify that on moral grounds.
