Republican Party no longer interested in repealing or replacing the ACA (Obamacare)

Why are “tax shelters” legal?

Lobbying. Tax shelters were created to provide specific tax relief to specific economic activity. Most of it is driven by the ability of those who would benefit to lobby Congress.

It will simply be passed on to the consumer, or less employees and less raises.

You too know the facts, but you've been taught the talismans to use to argue against your own interests.

Here in the South I was shocked to meet people who were entitled to benefits and refused to get them.

Often veterans. I knew a Viet vet who served several tours and got diabetes in his early 30's. He said, "I might have gotten it anyway. Then he had a quintuple bypass.

Abd in his 60's he was working in a grocery part time.

My husband also got Agent Orange illnesses in his 40's. We applied ten years later to get health care during a corporate takeover. In the process he got cash benefits, which we didn't seek, but we believed he had earned those benefits and he desperately needed the medical care.

We work within a system. We never begrudge our federal income taxes, sometimes more than $25K a year, and we are not going to refuse anything either.

It is embarrassing to know he had one short enlistment and received the GI bill, medical benefits, and cash benefits for 19 years, currently at 100%. But it is not wrong to pay taxes willingly and receive benefits fairly.

Some people have six children attending public school--others are childless. I supported school budgets when my three children were in school and when they graduated.

Healthcare is not a handout but there are subsidies for those who need them. So what?

Stay healthy. Get insured. If you don't need a subsidy thank God.

If the man you mentioned is in his 60's perhaps he's not eligible to retire yet- his government requires that he work till age 65, or he must pay for a high cost, high deductible health insurance plan. Or perhaps he's working because he's not lazy, and enjoys it.

Sorry, but I cannot get too jazzed up, over an already bloated, inefficient government, (that cannot ever seem to spare a few bucks for its own working citizens, but is giddy to support trillions overseas) if they take over the healthcare industry

Trump vows to replace ObamaCare with his own alternative​

“Obamacare is too expensive, and otherwise, not good healthcare,” Trump, the front-runner for next year’s GOP presidential nomination, wrote in a post on his social media platform, Truth Social.
“I will come up with a much better, and less expensive, alternative! People will be happy, not sad!”

Wow, sounds like he's really worked out all the details this time!

We have never been at war with Obamacare. You have been severely disinformated by Joe Buden.

Was that message written by someone of sound mind? I don't know whether to go to town with my editor's red pen, wash his mouth out with soap, or call the men in the white coats.
