It's reasonable to say that the law isn't perfect and that some tweaks need to be made (which is pretty much par for the course with the implementation of any major overhaul) but to simply say that it's evil and needs to be done away with immediately is shortsighted and cruel IMHO, particularly when considering that Republicans have nothing comparable to replace it with. The ACA does a lot of good progressive things that really should've been part of our health care system for a long time but weren't because Republicans care more about corporations than people. I just wonder how long it will be before this guy has to walk it back so as to avoid a teabagger primary challenge?

Everybody else is pretty much penalized by Obamacare.

though he has it backwards and offer this correction ...

I almost want to say that his intent was to say to his base: "Other people are benefiting; just not you!" - 'other people' meaning "lazy, worthless takers".

This would fire up his base, if that indeed was his intent.

As I said, though: I don't think his base has the smarts to detect a gambit like that...

But even though he tried to pander in his spin, the nutjobs will be out to make him pay for saying something that might seem to contain a bit of reason and decency.
