1) the thought that 'people will die' is hype. NO ONE, regarless of insurance, ability to pay, etc, gets denied needed care. The law requires all Hospitals to administer any needed care, to anyone, at any time.
2) There are plenty of people who would like a venue, to provide everyone in the US with some form of health coverage, who just don't think that Obamacare is the right way to go about it. I fall in that group.
3) Onec Obamacare was law, I gave no support for those trying to kill it the way they did. It passed, it was found Constitutional, right or wrong, it should be followed. Had I been in charge of the House, I would never allowed such a stand. Now, what I would have tried to do, was pass a House resolution, fully funding Obamacare, on the condition that either everyone follows the law as written, or everyone gets one more year to enroll without penalty.
Does it not seem odd to anyone, that McDonald's (among MANY others) got a waiver so they wouldn't be punished for not providing ACA approved policies, but the workers on those policies did not? Can anyone, anywhere, show me in the actual law, where that is allowed? I sure don't know of any wording that allows it, yet donate enough campaign money, err....I mean bring forth a sound argument, and you can get a waiver.
