$2400 a year is far from free though and that is after tax money so it

Well, not to beat a dead horse but of course it's a bad deal for us
and a great deal for those who wrote the bill..

Actually, I almost agree. It's a great deal for the insurance companies...
30M new people, and a so-so deal for everyone else. Fortunately, unlike
The
Constitution, it can be amended and improved... lol You know... In order

We could have written the right bill from nothing as easily as we can
fix this boondoggle. Now we not only need to come up with the right
plan, we need to repeal this one. Bureaucracies are hard to get rid of
once they are entrenched.

No repeal is needed or warranted. It's totally fixable. The repeal first is
just a reactionary load of crap that would put us back. Many programs start
as major compromises. There's nothing new. Social Security and Medicare are
good examples. They've been amended many times, and they still have problems
(fixable problems), but few people seriously advocate repealing them.
