All this debate about the ACA is well and good. But it’s not really the issue here. The issue is how congress should go about changing a law that some of them don’t like. The sensible answer to that is to get the votes you need and then change it. If you don’t have the votes, well then that’s how “democracy” works. Tell the people what you want and, if they agree with you, you’ll have more votes next term.

To basically grab the country in a headlock and say, “change this law that we don’t like or we won’t let go” is astonishingly childish, expensive, selfish, destructive, poorly-planned, and downright stupid.

I truly don’t understand why people aren’t angrier about this. I don’t understand why people are debating the finer points of this law when they should be excoriating the tea-party republicans and the house speaker responsible for this.
