The Affordable care Act has problems! These problems started during the first 4 years of the Obama administration. The election leading up to (and after) his inauguration  was nasty, racial and politically divided. This aura remained in place even after most Americans were happy to see him win (this includes  Americans of all hues and beliefs). There will always be anti everything including  members of Congress. The shame of it is that Congress (the same people who enact our laws) had ample opportunity to get on board and do their jobs but they wasted so much time kow towing to their big contributors (not their constituency) that they had no time to read and understand what the act was  and is about. Many of them have and continue to state that the act is a “train wreck” and the”American people ” do not want it yet they have no idea what it  does and have taken no interest in fixing it. Their hands off attitude is primarily political and covertly racist. To address the political aspect: their focus now (with the Party of Tea in the wings) is to win the Whitehouse and Congress and then repeal the Affordable care act. If that happens the result will be more devastation on the backs of the people who are  (and want to be) part of the ACA. The Congress has already put more problems on the folks who are recipients of food subsidies by changing the funding for Farmers who provide assistance to these folks under “SNAP”. The pre election media storm literally divided this country into the closeted  and outright bigots, the gentrifiers and  well off who seek to keep the less fortunate more so. These few groups are not united but each has  their own axe to grind and the heads of the lower and middle classes are on the block. Bigotry itself knows only the boundaries of its perpetrator and it is self serving, many bigots have no idea why they hate! The others are more self serving in that they feel they can buy their way on the backs of others. These traits are acquired or taught and amazingly some folks even “grow” out of it. I read and view a lot of information on all of this and this post is my semi biased opinion.
