And totally agree that Dems do not defend ACA nearly strong enough, not do they say that it should be improved by expanding the baseline of coverage to more people, with more protections for citizens from abuses by insurers and drug companies.<br /><br />And it is Fantasyland for Johnson,or any other GOP to think that for-profit insurance companies will look out for the little guy who is in need.

The red solo cup argument needs to be viciously and persistently trashed.<br /><br />"We need an insurance mandate for sufficient coverage because we don't leave people to die in this nation. That means if you don't take responsibility and get covered, you're sticking the rest of us with your bills when you get sick or hurt. The red solo cup argument is freeloading bullshit."<br /><br />We can argue about what constitutes sufficient coverage, but the notion of it being a requirement needs to be sold hard.<br /><br />Democrats have failed to do that. It seems like they passed the bill 7 years ago and chalked up a win. That doesn't fly against an adversary who is still fighting tooth and nail over Roe v Wade.<br /><br />Ron Johnson's well-worn market-based pablum puts him in the health care equivalent of Neiman Marcus and the rest of us at the Dollar Store.<br /><br />That's OK if you want some cheap kitchen ware for a kid's birthday party. It sucks if you're dealing with a serious medical condition.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02427829158996224733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3426800777521979578.post-33444718658084996172017-06-29T06:40:56.300-05:002017-06-29T06:40:56.300-05:00Actually, Johnson is pretty dann dumb.

If media ever called BS on him and pointed out that businesses don't offer needs like medical care out of the goodness of their hearts, Johnson would crumble.<br /><br /> He is a clueless zealot who married into his money, and always thinks of the needs and wants of corporates over the needs of society.Jake formerly of the LPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15660401299391001751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3426800777521979578.post-51749584755241778532017-06-29T06:24:58.304-05:002017-06-29T06:24:58.304-05:00Here's the thing - Johnson can run the table o...Here's the thing - Johnson can run the table on people like Cuomo and Todd despite his facts being way off. Johnson isn't that dumb - he knows how to manipulate the facts and deliver in a calm fashion. Did you see his interview with Todd?
