is a massive income distribution to the poor.  Out of the 32 million that will get insurance, 16 million of them are from the expansion of Medicaid (public insurance) and CHIP from which most of money is coming from eliminating Medicare Advantage (private insurance subsidized by the public) and additional taxes on those making over 200k.

The poor are not the people who get the money.  This program is a massive redistribution of wealth to the wealthy via the insurance and pharmaceutical companies.

It's that particular denial that causes me to have the most disrespect for you.

I'll get over the lack of respect from a retard.

It's a fact that 16 of the 32 new insureds will be on Medicaid or CHIP according to the CBO.  It's a fact the vast majority of the spending goes to lower income individuals and is raised from raising the Medicare taxes on individuals making over 200,000.

I'm right, you're wrong.  Deal with it.
