Beware…

…Politics…

One of the primary chants from the Republican party, and perhaps what got them as far as they have (ie, the Presidency, Senate majority, and House majority), was the statement that they would “Repeal and Replace” the Affordable Care Act (ACA), ie “Obamacare”.

The tactics were effective because they preyed on people’s fear of the unknown and, alternatively, it was difficult for the Democratic Party to defend a bill that was as complex as it was.

Many have stated the ACA, as written, has its problems and, I’m quite certain, it has.

But not having any form of health care coverage seems, in this day and age, a major governmental failure.

Perhaps now that the latest Republican attempt at “their” healthcare system has failed, more even heads can come together and strengthen this system.
