I've really enjoyed all this discussion about obamacare/aca. After giving it all a good look, actually reading the original bill, as signed, and [to best effort] understanding it, then watching the discussion here I've come to two possible courses of action.
1. Die a lingering death waiting for approval of treatment under obamacare/aca, or being refused said care because of my advancing age and no longer being a contributing member to the advancement of society [death panel action]. or 2. Die in the coming revolution while trying to effect substantive change in the current runaway government. Pick one.. does that about sum-ate the options?
