By working in healthcare, do you mean actually healing the sick and injured or participating in the massively destructive sham that is the US health insurance industry? I find it’s the latter that larger defends the ACÁ because they profit from it at the expensive of other people’s misery.

Did you have something to say, or were you just looking to make some personal swipes and call me names? Your comments about the ACA (you know there’s no accent on the word Act, right?) are hyperbolic nonsense.

  No, I, like most Americans, just find it incredibly insulting to be lectured to about how “poorly [we] understand the ACA” after having spent untold hours dealing with all its nonsense, spending absurd amounts of money to be denied care, lied to and be given the run around by insurance companies, often during some of the most challenging moments in our lives. Likewise, I find it completely obnoxious when the same people describe themselves as working in “healthcare,” while directly profiting from the denial of it to others, often illegally, because they know the people they’re screwing don’t have the time and resources to fight back. Apologies for speaking so plainly, but if any of this is somehow surprising to you, you should wake up.

    So you’re just here to tell me, without knowing what I do or who I am, that I’m evil and that I’m “profiting from the denial of care to others”? Cool man, good talk.

    So did you actively oppose it back in 2009? Because I seem to recall pretty active support regarding the Affordable Care Act back then, with many on the left suggesting it was the panacea to address the US healthcare woes. A lot of us warned what a disaster it was going to be but we were told to sit down and shut up.
