[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 2908253, member: 24302"] You're the one that extrapolates nothing much into everything. Try to think in broader strokes. The ACA is nothing more than an attempt to take healthcare out of the private sector and into gov't control. It's 20% of the economy, control it and eventually the gov't would be an European style Socialist model. How to control it? Make it impossible for health insurers to remain profitable. When they all fall out the gov't will be the last entity standing, the single payer. And as premiums had to rise for insurers to remain solvent, so to will taxes rise to pay for everything. To get there the Democrats made concessions to various groups because they knew the endgame was more important than whatever breaks they gave now. As for votes, those dependent on the ACA, the POOR, are going to vote Democrat if they want to keep their subsidies. I hate to tell you this, but there are a lot more poor than wealthy in this country. Again, you don't have to be impoverished to be poor. To say most of the voters are wealthy is wishful thinking at best. If the wealthy are primarily Republican, as is widely touted, how did the Democrats win the popular vote? Hate to tell you, but it was pro union Democrats in the Rust Belt that put Donald Trump in the White House. Are they part of the racists, etc that want to keep "certain groups" down? [/QUOTE]
