And this was not your reasoning at the time. Keep being a fraud liar though.

There's only like 11 states where your vote might matter. Every other state is basically whether you endorse the Dem/Repub nominee - and that's why I voted for Gary Johnson.

Although I've been laughing since election night and I'm still laughing. The tech sites have been the best lately. And everyone is whining about the GOP health plan while Obamacare implodes all around them.

I'm well aware, I'm just poking flaws in Sleeper's idiotic logic.

Gosh a ruddies, deja vu all over again. Its 1973. Shades of the Saturday Night massacre, a President firing an official investigating him. And now tapes. Countdown to impeachment.

The country likes Obamacare that's why the GOP healthcare plan is going nowhere. It was a PR move and you bought it!

It wasn't affordable before Obamacare either. We need single payer healthcare if you actually care about cost.

always a lie....now and before

They have healthcare (homer simpson WOOHOO!)....they just can't afford the copay or out-of-pocket. The Dems gave people insurance they couldn't afford to actually use, and a lot of people who should know better are jerking off to that.

That was easy. Next question.

It was better before until you got sick. Then insurance companies would deny you coverage until you went bankrupt or died.

Currently, 54% approve of the health care law passed seven years ago by Barack Obama and Congress, while 43% disapprove, according to a national Pew Research Center survey conducted Feb. 7-12 among 1,503 adults.
From February 2017. Facts don't care about your feelings. This is not Fox News; this is reality.

Yes let's throw out centuries of statistical sampling methodology because some weren't right in 2016.

50% approval isn't the country. And 50% are poor and don't pay taxes, I wonder if there is a correlation.

It's 54% and that's the majority of the country. What do taxes have to do with this?

Also, in November 42 approved and 53 disapproved. Sounds like some butt hurt over Trump. Additionally, only 26% would keep it as is. http://www.gallup.com/poll/207671/affordable-care-act-gains-majority-approval-first-time.aspx

Polls on something like this don't even make sense bc most people with jobs were barely affected by this other than maybe higher premiums. Why would they have a strong opinion on for or against if they didn't have to use it or pay the extremely high premiums?

Intelligence for one. Why would I value people's opinion on if it's a good law or not from people who don't have to pay for anything anyway?

Right because there wasn't butt hurt from Republicans because a black Democrat passed the Heritage foundation plan instead of a White Republican. But yes, let's be proven wrong and then go back to November to find something that supports my outdated viewpoint.

They don't need a strong opinion to be polled. They were asked if they approve or disapprove of Obamacare keeping in mind that some who disapprove, like myself, may do so because they want Single Payer, not the Republican Heritage Foundation plan.

You don't have to value their opinion; that doesn't change the reality that the majority of this country likes Obamacare.

Sorry you were proven wrong so easily. Try to watch something other than Fox News and develop independent thoughts.

The "majority" approves for the first time ever. Good work. That doesn't equal "the country approves it". I don't care about the Trump plan either. My insurance was fine in 2010 and is fine now. None of it affects me, but when you have full states where not one Obamacare exchange exists, or the largest insurance companies are dropping out of it, there is clearly a problem.

I don't watch the news, I'm not a 60 year old. People watching the news is the problem when it's propaganda 99% of the time. Hence my intelligence comment, the problem with the country is the lack of intelligent people, and as college campuses have shown, it is only getting worse.
