but typical of the mentality or lack thereof, conservatard teabags now whine and cry because shrub bush and his gang i***ts didn't act on the reublican alternative to Hillarycare. Willard Romney did, and created romneycare, and all through the e******n process, conservatrd teabags and rightwingnut pundits praised willard for providing health insurance to his state.

I agree there is much to learn from the past in the present. I also didn't understand why conservatives refused to participate in the ACA with their own plan or amendments. This set them up to fail. I know it took a lot for them to acknowledge a problem exists but then they relied too much on how the free market would solve it. A mandate increases business and jobs in the insurance and medical industries. It also increases competition for all the new assets (excuse me, clients). Instead, they focus only on the government over reach aspect. After the SCOTUS decision, they missed making a Individual Mandate Bill of Rights or some other campaign slogan and chose to go with the Repeal or Replace. The problem was that no one could find the "replace" part of the campaign platform. Had they made one, I'm thinking they would have won.

Ironies on top of ironies. I had to laugh at Sen. Cruz's reading of the "green eggs" children story where green eggs were repulsive until tried--but when tried, realized to be wonderful. Apparently he didn't realize how the green eggs lesson applied to the Affordable Care Act!
