1) Why would anyone want a JUNK insurance policy?

The ACA got rid of denial of care of pre-existing conditions. We'll all get sick and die, it's a pre-existing condition. Why gamble with a JUNK policy that denies the obvious?

2) So what if the ACA website doesn't work fast?

Social Security didn't have a website for 60 years. It worked all those years without it!

I flummoxed a teabagger using 1) and 2), a person who had created some simple websites, said it shouldn't be hard.

I asked, did your website cover 50 states and territories all with different laws, for 300+ million people?

Did it take into account each and every one of people's different needs and financial ability and find companies to accept them?

Did Social Security survive 60 years without a website?

And it was game, set and match.

Easy, thanks to DU.
