      ACA is not good enough. But it was as far as we could get the right to move. I feel similarly about it as I do the 3/5 compromise. It’s stupid and clearly not good enough, but sometimes you have to take any step to get the rest of the country moving in the right direction at all.

      Well of course it’s trash as it was a conservative program that Obama then introduced as that was the only version of healthcare that could pass. Any non-trash programs would always be torpedoed by the ultra right, as they like their voters poor and dying for some reason.
