"… could take the whole ACA down with it." Riiiight. You read a bit like a Dwyer posting.
You know "personal" from "professional" don't you? How personal is it when the opposing political party in government votes over 40 times to defund & destroy a Federal program? How personal is it when the Kochheads, Addelsons, and untold other 1%ers (with help from a Roberts court) pump millions into astroturf & provocateur initiatives to fight progress?
I'm not sure about you DT 'cause it sure seems you're compelled to point fingers, softly parrot rightie talking points, and willfully ignore any of the pluses in ACA.
How about this DT, you ever remember quoting this sage advice:
"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat. – Theodore Roosevelt
ACA will not FAIL so therefore cannot be considered so in Obama's legacy. ACA infant roll-out hasn't passed 45 days but you're all in with the nattering negativistic ignorati falling over themselves to lay this at the feet of Obama. Bringing up CBMS again makes me feel like you're channeling a bit of Algernon, but neither of you in the least quixotic with your ignoble attacks.
