20. The whole thing is just absurd

The ACA does not solve everything, but it does do a lot of good. The whole used car thing did not apply. When I went to get my policy, they had me make sure my doctor was in the network first, so I could consider a different plan if not. Will Pitt had some problem of that type, and the ACA was likely not to blame or there was some wrinkle to be ironed out.

One weakness of the ACA is when your income is near the medicaid borderline, medicaid will accept you provisionally without telling you and if you make too much, you can turn to the ACA but have to wait a month and end up not covered for a month. I had that happen and did not go into fits of rage. I mean, everything has to be ironed out over time. That's why the BS about the web site was ridiculous. I've dealt with many a government bureaucracy and things happen all the time. No system is perfect.

He expected perfection and blamed it all on the President when Lieberman and the rest of the crew had a lot to do with it. But as it was, even so, his wife's problem was eventually solved. So he has no excuse continuing that meme now.

The TPP thing IMO is simply being used by some as a wedge issue. They know it is not big deal and there is no way any US President or Congress would do the things they claim the TPP will do. Some of the visions of doom and gloom are ridiculous. But they know they can confuse people with it.
