Because we decided that identity and economics were boundaries by which representation must be prime and paramount...if we just went by physical location boundaries based on population densities (regardless of the demographics), this wouldn't be a big deal.

The ACA was also literally passed in the middle of the night via budget reconciliation as opposed to a straight chamber vote.

Maybe you should key in on the fact that I'm neither Republican nor Democrat, and I see neither as idiotic--just each misguided in their own unique ways.

We've had decades to do something about this, across both Democrat and Republican presidents...we have done nothing. I have zero faith in either side to do anything but attempt to perpetuate their power. They don't care about us. If either did, one or the other wouldn't have left ACA at subsidies.

Except I don't see the brutal and widespread extermination...and, while rhetoric might indicate that's where it's headed...that's not evidence. And, no, there's no "It's too late when they're doing it" because Nazi Germany was stopped. Until that happens, the Left is as full of hot air as the Right.

The aim should be long-term, not a series of short-term band-aids. But, America seems to be too stupid to play that way. And the game they are playing is just a loss from the start.

Ok, let's tell it like it is. The ACA was passed 15 years ago. Medical costs have not come down. Yes, more people are insured but the actual cost of care has not come down. I think the aim should be to do that, to make the need for insurance (public or private) moot. But, neither side wants that.

I don't care, no. I think poor greedy is just as nefarious as rich greedy. And both sides sure do like to divide us. That's why I ignore them both. Real solutions are usually ones that they, unfortunately, ignore--especially if it doesn't screw the other side.

Exactly. That's why we need to diminish the need for insurance, public and private. Insurance needs to be an emergency source of funding, not a constant subsidy. The answer lies in getting prices under control--not single-payer, which would be nothing more than the status quo only gov't managed.

That's not sustainable; subsidy does nothing to address base cost and, in fact, gives no incentive to reduce base cost. It's as dumb as the 50-year mortgage idea--that will hyper inflate home prices just as insurance has medical prices.

I don't know their reasoning. I don't really care--I have seen time and time again that I, as a middle-class American, have also seen these tax cuts--they're not just for the wealthy. Letting them sunset outright would hurt the poor and middle-class. Also, odd "fair share" is always left ambiguous.

No. Neither party are very interested in us at all, except to perpetuate their power base. I think you'd best stop this myopia against the wealthy and realize that they're all part of that oligarchy.

Not removing them will merely cover up prices and, in fact, keep hyper-inflating them--just as Trump's stupid ass 50-year mortgage will hyper-inflate house prices.

There is no what-about-ism here; I don't like either side when it comes to medical care prices. Neither of them have put forth anything substantive towards that end that hasn't either lined the pockets of insurance or killed us with subsidies. Public and private insurance need to be made moot.

$2,000 for lower- and middle-class Americans is what Trump put on the table, funded by his new tariffs.

The problem is that there are insurance plans, period. Both sides don't get it, obviously--it's been a decade since the ACA. The aim should be to reduce cost of medical care, not propping up insurance (public or private). It's as likely to solve medical prices as the 50-year mortgage will housing.

You hate Republicans, do you not? One might consider speech against them "hate speech". We have to be careful about this primrose path we're on. Accusation of "hate speech" seems to spurn prejudice and (possibly unnecessary) hatred. We're such a prejudicial nation, especially with the other tribe.
