(90,686 posts)After all the commiserating over the evil done was over, some of us who were of a more questioning mind teased out the info that it was a compound fracture requiring a lot of surgery and a hospital stay.
I may have forgotten some of the details. If so, I apologize. Bottom line: it was not a simple fracture, which is how it was originally framed.
I completely agree that we have a long way to go to fix this system. If you want the ACA repealed so we can start over, contact all those House Republicans who voted dozens of times to do just that. Brilliant move.
Also, reflect on the fact that Democrats/Progressives stayed home during the first midterm election after Obama was elected and allowed the GOP to take over the House and Senate. It is one of the wonders of the world that Obama got anything done at all, with the opposition he he has faced since Day One.
