"ACA will collapse upon itself."

Really?
Maybe because the MORTORFORKING RETHUGLICANS threw up every roadblock they could come up with to MAKE DAMN SURE it DIDN'T succeed?

Because the senate majority leader (turtlehead) vowed that his party's primary mission was to make Obama a "one term president"?

Because they absolutely HAD to kill anything that might possibly bring some approval to a president from the 'other' party?

And the guy was a ferking n****r to boot?

Fuck them.
Period.

Yes, I am pissed off.
And yes, I have been drinking some Scotch.
A little bit.
But damn.
The hypocrisy coming out of the repugs now is just...EPIC!

That alone would have avoided the current challenges. It actually still is the primary change that needs to be made. I seem to remember that someone claimed it was the way to keep the insurance companies "honest". That's still needed.

I'll never forgive Lieberman, the Senator from Aetna, for his complicity is this problem.
