"Oh shit - they expect us to DO it? Shit shit. Does anyone have any experience with this stuff? Pete, your wife is a doctor, right? Can you give her a call? Oh - that was your first wife . . . Is she still talking to you? Shit. Why didn't anyone warn us we might have to do this?"

Absolutely they are fretting. Always difficult for conservatives to figure out how to take back something once the liberals have given it away.
Please don't dent the planet.

Not what I said at all. When you give people something for nothing it's always difficult to take it back.

No, that bit's actually pretty easy.

The problem the republicans have is they promised to take it back, then give away even more for even less. Except they never bothered to figure out how they were going to manage it.
Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Yes, that is exactly what is happening. Some people have gained access to healthcare at public expense. And it is a form of socialism that is very popular. So popular in fact that the majority of the population is in favour of it. There will be changes to the system, but the ACA in some form is here to stay.

Healthcare is not a protected right. But more and more even conservatives are seeing that a rich society benefits from ensuring that all members have the security of feeling able to access care when it is needed. Without relying on the whims of employers and insurance companies, who have completely different interests from them.

There is a strong possibility that what comes next is even more socialist. And one thing for sure is that almost no one is going to be happy with the final result. Left or right.
Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

Classic example of confusing health care with health insurance.

Unless you have the resources to self insure, you can't have one without the other. I'm am not in the least confused about the two different roles. The insurance industry is the most problematic part of the system. But it is necessary in some form unless everyone self insures.
