"But what you don't like about ACA falls entirely on the shoulders of the democratic party."
Not when Republicans refused to correct ANY of its flaws, for fear of being accused of voting FOR Obamacare.
Contrast that to the Republicans' screw-up regarding the farmers' exemption of 20% of gross profits from taxable income:
Republicans forgot the word "profits", so the law allowed a 20% deduction of gross INCOME, a world of difference.
Goal: $500,000 gross, $400k expenses = 100k profit. Less 20% for exemption, and the farmer would owe taxes on $80k.
Result: $500,000 gross less 20% exemption = $400,000 income. After $400k expenses, that's ZERO profit.
Oops.
Democrats voted to fix it on first ask.
" But most boomers have and had coverage so the exclusion isn't applied."
Except 1) you could be refused by the insurance company, and
2) I was in an industry where going on and off coverage was common, since coverage was based on getting enough gigs.
