To them and the Democrat Party, they rely on dumb people - the dumber, the better. Go into any major inner-city where the graduation rates are 30% or less and you will see who has a lock on the electorate (around 96% Democrat);

If you vote Democrat, you don't have to be dumb, just gullible enough to believe the leadership's line of crap and lazy enough to not verify their claims;

If you vote Democrat, you don't have to be dumb, but you won't bite the hand that feeds you. The Democrat Welfare Plantation provides a great existence if you turn a blind eye to blight, gangs, crime, murder, drugs, illegitimacy, corruption, deplorable schools and misery. You teach your kids how to access the welfare rolls instead of teaching them to reach for the ladder of success. Schools could be deplorable, but you know you don't have to have a PHd to fill out the forms to get free housing, food stamps, medical, etc.

If you vote Democrat, you could be a member of the uber-wealthy class of people and/or a member of the academe. Somehow in your twisted view of the world, you think someday you will be appointed as one of the taskmasters who will help the government control the masses. You teach young people a world-view based on communism where everyone is equal, America is evil and the god of big government knows best for society.

If you have voted Democrat in the past and have come to realize you have been played for being a fool, you will find many Republicans and Tea Party members who would welcome you to their meetings. Chances are many of the people who welcome you at the door have done the same thing as you, but came to understand they were taught a failed mindset which not only destroys families, it also wrecks communities and our country. You can help them change things for the better (most polls show some 80% or more believe we are headed in the wrong direction).

I am going to explain this to you in a reasonable way , one there are more people working now than any time since the crash of 2008 , the economy is much better than since that time, yes the ACA has some glitches on the internet but other means are working and all aspects are getting better , the ACA is the only plan put forward that allowed the uninsured access to health insurance , 44 million were priced out of the market , and those freeloaders you mentioned over 90 percent of them have jobs and a goodly percentage have two jobs so they are not freeloaders just poor. Even now it looks as though the ACA is containing costs and is accelerating enrollment , in a year or better it will be running fairly smoothly , so please gentle down your words

It looks like you are completely unaware that under the ACA, insurance companies must spend at least 80% of all premiums collected on actual health care. If they don't, they must refund excess premiums to the insureds. In 2011, they refunded $1.1 billion. In 2012, they refunded over $500 million (because they adjusted their rates to avoid having to repay so much).

"Absurd profits" are what the industry used to be able to make BEFORE ACA. Back then, the average annual increase in health insurance premiums was more than 9%. That was one of the reasons for ACA in the first place!

I like some of those ideas, such as tort reform and tax-deductible premiums for individuals (employer plans that cover most Americans are already tax-deductible). Crossing state lines doesn't help much; health insurance is priced based on state morbidity risks. Companies would just have to price for all states and even counties. OR raise everyone's premiums. Increasing HSA's helps mostly those with high incomes who want another tax-free account to stash money in; doesn't help the poor or middle class much. Subsidizing premiums for the working poor is a good idea. But,

Where are the provisions that don't deny coverage for pre-existing conditions?

Where are the provisions that allow "children" to stay on their parents' plans until age 26?

Where are the provisions that limit insurance companies' profits and expenses to 20%?

Where are the provisions that require insurance companies to refund excess premiums to the insureds?

Where are the unlimited caps on what policies will pay?

Put all those things together, and maybe we would have something as good as or better than Obamacare. Maybe Republicans should propose legislation to make those changes to Obamacare. No? Oh, that's right. Republicans are only interested if they can make themselves look good by repealing Obamacare. They have little interest in actually helping American citizens by continuing those provisions that do so.
