As another commentator said, yes by all means read the ACA, then get in line and do what Dear Leader tells you to do! Do not object to Dear Leader, for He is The One who shall take care of us forever and ever. Washington needs to do everything it can to avoid this behemoth budget busting bill so incorrectly called the "Affordable" Care Act. Remember the people who call it that are the one's who have run up a $17 trillion dollar debt, and continue to add to it to the tune of over $1T per year. Of course they call it affordable, it's not their money or their debt.

My understanding of this bill is that it allows people to pay a health care provider out of their own pocket and the health care provider can lawfully accept that payment. It allows people the opportunity to pay only for the services they need rather than obtaining a health insurance policy that covers services they will never use or forces them to pay for services such as abortions that they find objectionable. I can't understand how anyone who values choice and liberty could object to it.

This should make the whole process more direct and thus more easy for everyone to handle. When it comes to our health system there's a million things I would suggest... it's too bad I don't have the power of decision.
