It's delusional to pretend that the train wreck that has been the ACA is something that must be defended in every argument at all costs. I've rarely seen good arguments on either side though, to be honest.

2 ply is cheaper and lighter?

I tend to defend reality. ACA hasn't caused healthcare costs to skyrocket, but it sure hasn't brought them down. You can't keep your doctor or your policy, but that's due to piss poor implementation and way too much fine print. The list goes on and on. It's much the same idea that someone like me can disagree with Obama's policies and think he has been ineffective and whiney, but correct people on the notion that he's a Muslim or the most radical liberal ever.
Sometimes, playing devil's advocate is part of living in reality.

I reject reality, and substitute it for... REALITY TV!

That's true enough, but I'd like to see some of your conservative views come out every once in a while just to see if you can successfully debate something other than the devil's advocate side.

I've made very few posts with personal opinion, but you're welcome to evaluate them on their conservative merits. I am squarely in the red, but not every subject has 2 sides, for many, the sole question is how to deal with the problem.

Dealing with the problem... throw money at it until it goes away!
Or strip everyone of full time jobs so that become more dependant on working 2 jobs, to support themselves, until they die out, and the problem of healthcare reform goes away.

You don't have to prove your conservative credentials to some stranger on an internet forum. I just see a huge disconnect from where you say you stand to what you actually post, so naturally there's some confusion on my end.

But internet credentials are on my resume. I just say I have good people skills.

You will notice that I don't put much opinion into my posts. When a discussion is allowed to actually take place instead of the usual partisan derailment, I do.

Random question here. How are FDA guidelines for FDA approval on cellular/gene therapies versus regular meds?
Are cellular/gene therapies that much more difficult to get approved by the FDA?

I'm also available for bar mitzvahs and as a clown for kid birthday parties. Often times both at the same time.

Random Politics & Religion is for topics that aren't thread worthy on their own and do not have their own existing thread.
Rules and Guidelines
Forum Rules and P&R Section Guidelines still apply.
Satire is tolerated.
If your topic covers a story over 6 months old (Watergate, Benghazi, 2012 Election, etc.) post it here.
Discussions on racism, homophobia, transphobia, and the like are allowed, targeted insults based on these will not be tolerated.
Political debates get heated and are meant to be intense, if you take offense to being called or proven wrong, you don't belong here.
If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen; if you prove you can't handle the criticism you bring upon yourself in this thread, you may be removed from it. You are responsible for what you post.
Along those lines, heat is fine, but sustained, clearly personal hostility is not okay. The personal attack rules still apply. Attack positions, not posters. Failure to adhere to this will result in your removal from the thread.
This thread is NOT the Flame Core.
These rules are subject to change and modification where and when needed.
Random Politics & Religion may be mained or demained depending on the activity within at a Moderator's discretion.
With that out of the way, let the debates begin!
