Talk of repealing/eliminating Obamacare needs to stop now.

The law was passed by congress, signed by the president, and has now withstood not one but 2 challenges before the Supreme court.

This is the LAW OF THE LAND, it is working (even better than anticipated), and it is wanted by the people. It has received a seal of approval by ALL THREE BRANCHES OF THE GOVERNMENT.

It is time for the right to STOP talking about getting rid of Obamacare. This fight has been fought many times, over the course of many years. It needs to stop now. we have other things to work on in this country besides getting rid of a successful program.

Pharma, and their stockholders make waaaaay too much guaranteed money off of the ACA. And we will never have affordable health care for everybody. That's how this country rolls. Looks like the TPP will lengthen the time before generics can be made, and will forbid countries from negotiating drug prices, too, so premiums will just keep going up. So will co-pays and out-of-pocket. And millions will still not have insurance.

I am sure they have armies of lawyers poring over every word to see if they can find a way to manufacture another case with. Its a good thing actually sincd its a losing cause for them. Many people I know who vote GOP are happy the have insurance for the first time in their lives. I live in Virginia in a poor rural county.
