MSgt (Join to see) - None of those point to imminent collapse and the last is not even a problem

1stSgt Nelson Kerr -
And there lies one of the problems the democrats lost the election. They refuse to acknowledge the ACA is broken and failing. And how is 30 million not insured not a problem when the ACA was such a good system for the American people.

MSgt (Join to see) - The ACA has problems, but they are repair , the "fix" that just failed so miserably did not repair the problems and made new ones. The Republicans who killed the bill were all elected on the same Day Trump was and they were the ones that killed it.

Nobody who lost Nov 7th was involved in this bill , members of the house on bothy sides of the aisle won the last election so you have to acknowledge their right to vote as the damned well please.

1stSgt Nelson Kerr - No plan is ever perfect, there are flaws in it. Its not about D or R its about finding our what works best fior the people,

1stSgt Eugene Harless - I see no indication thaat the Rs have the people interest in heart, Where do you see ANY common ground to use as a place to start working? I do not even see much common ground that is shared withing all the REPUBLICAN party. As SFC Whitfield stated just fix the plan we already have.

1stSgt Nelson Kerr - That's my idea as well, and onr reason that the Republicans are split is because the hard liners want to just scrap the ACA and start from scratch and others want to simply fix parts they think that are broken.

1stSgt Eugene Harless - I disagree that the hardliners wnt to start form scratch I think that do not want the government involved in health care at all and if people die as a result it will be "Gods Will".
