        I'm so old I recall over 100 public hearings on ACA under the Dems & 100+ Repub amendments. Also, ACA was based on Romneycare in MA. He's R, too. So your statement abt exec branch authority is incorrect.

        Pretty sure what happened today is going to blow up in the face of the party sabotaging millions of ppls HC. That would be the GOP.

        Dangerous waters to think the end justifies the means, regardless of your stance on a particular policy.

        The dysfunction on the legislative body has ceded much of its power to the executive. As the legislative bodies move further apart more power will be relinquished to the executive till our democracy is no longer recognizable.

        Yes. ACA prices have increased each year with fewer plans to choose from. The other option is to buy "coupons" outside the marketplace.

        Have you ever noticed that every time trump is signing a really stupid EO, Virginia Fox is always standing next to him. I guess someone has to make trump feel smart.
