      These town halls are different from 2009: Back then, it was a political prank. Now, it's about life and death.

      Shame on you. The concerns of citizens you don't care about are still valid concerns. You don't get to negate half of Americans

      fair criticism. I vividly remember pure disruption tactics at '09 town halls, and I worry about people losing insurance.

      Just so you know my health care premiums have gone from 400 per month to 1,100 per month under Obamacare. I have 0 health prob.

      I'm sorry to hear that. The law needs to be fixed. The threat of repeal w/ no plan to cover same people is a big one.

          It's alright. It's really easy to see one's own side as the only morally correct option.

          The ACA hurt a lot of people, and since its insertion we've been called liars by our president and the media.

          It has helped a lot of people as well, and there is a compassionate compromise. But I don't know if the nation can agree to it.

          it's just easier to insult our opponents and dismiss them.

          the good news is I'll probably die of medical issues before people start taking up arms.

          But each day, we can decide to do better and try to stave things off. We just need to remember that our opponents are people.

          And that we all have reasons, of varying quality, for our positions.

          One voice I've grown to admire is @RiazPatel - I might not agree with his political stances, but the way he approaches things.
