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.

It's politics. You'll rarely see a good argument about 2 ply versus 3 ply toilet paper.

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.

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.

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?

which explains the lack of posts in P and R. We see a lot of partisan derailment.

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