The ACA: A Gift That Keeps on Giving - Still

Submitted by Cordelia Lear on Sun, 02/22/2015 - 8:15pm

The Affordable Health Act is a Rube Goldberg contraption that keeps on giving. The Democrats missed a once in a generation opportunity to correct some of the problems associated with the administration of our health care system. They were tone deaf to public outcries for a single payer system and ignored suggestions that people be allowed to buy into Medicare. The final product was a complicated kludge with high co-pays, high deductibles and high premiums.

Hi,

I just got the email about this symposium on Feb 28 to March 1 in NYC

The registration of $60 to get lunch ends today.

I posted a diary on it.

If you are in the NYC area and can make it, it looks like a great event.
