Can you source the article of the idiot and son, please? Also, I'm not finding a source for your claim that the Ryan plan will drop the 30% penalty clause. Would you source that, too, if possible? You made some good points re the polling. Like all polls, results depend on the shaping of the questions. I wasn't factoring in the desire for single payer. What I hear around me or have personal knowledge of falls into two basic categories. The first is cost considerations, mainly rising premiums, deductibles, and co-pays that are leaving people with policies that only become usable with a major illness or accident. Hence, very expensive catastrophic policies. The other is the difficulty in finding a doctor or dentist who will accept Medicaid. These two things should be apolitical in that both Ds and Rs are affected. Nevertheless, Dems seem to be resistant to change.

>> Did you see that article about that idiot who was so grateful to Trump and God when her son lost his job and his premium dropped to next to nothing thanks to Trumpcare? That's an anecdotal comment; but you certainly know this kind of nonsense occurs on both sides of the aisle. No one ever accused the average person of understanding what is going on in this arena. I'm a lot more concerned about those on the Left who actually believe Obamacare is "working" by any reasonable definition. And the politicians on the Left are propagating that lie, which I think is about gutless. If I were a Democrat politician, I would at least be honest about it. But these guys are lying through their teeth about it.
