[QUOTE="A2SG, post: 64511441, member: 227164"] Politicians today don't write laws, lobbyists do. Politicians can, and should, be blamed for accepting those ideas and passing them into law. But, as I said, if you want to criticize the ideas behind the law, then you need to go to the source of those ideas. In the case of the ACA, that would be the Heritage Foundation. Yup. But the opinion piece criticized the economic [I][B]IDEAS[/B][/I] behind the law, and those [I][B]IDEAS[/B][/I] came from conservative think tank the Heritage Foundation. It is a conservative market-based plan to solve the problems of health care. Part of the reason Mass. has less problem with it is the insurance carriers here are all non-profits (who still manage to show a ton of profit nevertheless), and don't carry the economic clout the private, for-profit health insurance industry does. -- A2SG, we still got health insurance company hissy fits, but they didn't have the same national impact, especially because of MassHealth.....
