Voting- The ACA...per another blog;)

Voting- The ACA

We all have reasons we vote for whom we vote...
We support life
We support choice
We support free stuff
We support workers rights

I could go on but as I said above we all have our reasons.
...but are your reasons reasonable or are you fooling yourself to think they are reasonable?

I'd like to take on those that support/ed the Affordable Care Act.

Firstly our Insurance Industry was crooked a disaster and often unfair. It needed to be overhauled for sure.
The ACA had(s) a really great part to it...something I support with my whole heart.
Those with preexisting conditions can not be turned down.

Now to be reasonable...with a clip for you to watch so maybe you will understand.

So...it comes down to ..."..you have to pass it to know what's in it..."
This is/was SERIOUS legislation that will change our nation...and "...you have to pass it to read it..."?!

Maybe I'm just pretending to be reasonable here but can you support (vote for) someone who voted for legislation..any legislation.

Would you like to look up your own incumbents and see how they voted? If they voted 'yes' I implore you to spread the word and perhaps say, 'maybe your just pretending to be reasonable' as to why they should not be voted in to office EVER again.

This isn't ablaut Republican vs Democrat although when you look at the names and yeas and nays it might look like it.

The 2014 midterm election is coming up this November. The LAW that was passed has been changed (most likely illegally by President Obama and is going to court again).

The delays that the President has implemented are both after the the 2014 midterm elections and the 2016 elections.
Maybe I'm just pretending to be reasonable, but if you think your own elected official (if they voted 'yea') with out reading this legislation making it LAW will not effect you personally  I think you should start reading.
Learn the numbers ...
29
49
..and what they mean.
Ask yourself why all the sudden the Unions in all their might are 'frustrated' with the direction of the ACA.
This is not a problem with the left, the right, the independent....
This is an AMERICAN problem.
