Q. Ever wonder why the tax code is so confusing?
A. Because lawyers lobbied to have it that way.
55% of the senators in the 113th Congress are lawyers.
You lawyers would be unemployed if laws were written for average citizens to understand them.
Why expect the ACA to be any different from any other law?

Same thing with a turd.
Same thing with SEC regulations.
Same thing with IRS regulations.
Same thing with the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2012.
If you think you've found a smoking gun you are sorely mistaken.

> Nobody thinks a person should be allowed to purchase insurance to repair a car
>that is destroyed. Or fire insurance after the house has burnt down.
Agreed. And no one is proposing that any dead person should be allowed to buy health insurance.
But even bad drivers are allowed to buy auto insurance, because you need it to drive. And even people with pre-existing conditions are allowed to buy health insurance.
>The ACA is about spreading COST.
In other words, it's health insurance. As I am sure you are aware (and to use your language) your own health insurance is taking money from the young and healthy to pay for the older and ill. It is simply a way to redistribute your money in order to subsidize those who aren't young and who aren't sick.
So is mine. So is everyone's. The reason it works at all is that it takes money from the young and healthy and spends it on the old and sick. In other words, that's not a bug, it's a feature - one you might rely on some day.

skymiles***The righties said all along that the ACA was nothing more than taking money from the young and healthy to pay for the older and ill. Simply a way to redistribute wealth in order to subsidize those who aren't young and who aren't sick.
That's the whole point. Because one day you too will be old and sick. Is that so difficult to understand?
We already have a program for that called Medicare. This isn't about old and young. You're taking money from those that have it and giving it to those that don't...plain and simple. You can call it whatever you like but it's just another form of welfare. It does nothing to solve the real problems of cost. At this point it would just be better to go to a single payer system and flush the current insurance company/healthcare provider model.

If you would pick the healthcare system in the US over say the healthcare system in Canada, then there is no point in even trying to convince you that the ACA is a sep in the right direction.
I don't vote right often because too many of their policies are influenced by religious beliefs.
I should add neither the left or right have is figured out. Our problems could be solved if we had a party that was left with social issues and right with financial issues.

Most Conservatives would agree with you on your points.
Careful now, you wouldn't want to be accused of coming over to the Dark Side.
