For a fact, the ACA provides health insurance for more than 20000 people here who previously had no coverage at all. The Republican objection to ACA comes down to a denial of what it takes to make insurance insurance-- the mandate.No program can afford to insure only the sick and elderly. Losing a house to flood or fire is not a likely event, but we all insure our houses. A catastrophic health condition is much more likely, but somehow we object to making health coverage possible. If both parties could cooperate and work to bring treatment costs down ( didn't Trump promise that? ) the ACA would work better. At present though no better alternative is possible.
If dim bulb Billy was attempting to demonstrate his ignorance here, then mission accomplished.
The ACA (ObamaCare) did not provide medical insurance. It provided nothing. It forced people to either buy very expensive insurance with huge co-pays and deductibles, or pay a penalty. It forced working people to subsidize the medial insurance costs of non-working people, i.e., more Welfare. The comparison to homeowners insurance was simply stupid because no one is forced to buy homeowners insurance. And no insurance company is compelled to insure an already burning or flooded building.
Billy won't tell you that medical and health insurance costs increased greatly after ObamaCare was enacted. And it still left almost 30 million citizens without any insurance. That was the opposite of what was promised by dishonest Democrats.
Of course, we shouldn't just vote for a politician on the basis of their support for the 2nd Amendment. That would be one-dimensional. We should vote for those that Billy and SKB the Liberal Gunsmith support... the ones that increase taxes and health care costs, support job killing regulations and insane trade deals that compel manufacturers to move jobs overseas, increase the number of Americans on Welfare and Food Stamps, kill the jobs of thousands of coal miners, waste billions spent liberating Iraq, give billions to Iran in exchange for not being able to inspect their nuke sites, give aid to a dictator who shoots missiles over Japan, promises to be more flexible with Putin after the election, etc., etc.,
And Billy is still trying to run away from his previous lies where he claimed that Corporations are colluding to keep wages low, and that wages have not increased in 20 years. Why does he refuse to offer any proof? Why does he lie to us?
