These threads only seem to draw toothless redneck stereotypes from some on the left. I have thick skin so will try again and hope for better results. I can understand many republicans do not wish to say anything good about the ACA. I can only assume jealously from some on the left that their states did not attempt a different approach. It is a bipartisan approach to make the best out of a bad situation in the eyes of many. While it does not address the individual mandate it does improve the second biggest flaw in the ACA IMO.
