14. On the other hand, I suspect most people on the "new" DU who post in this forum

Support the recent ACA ruling and therefore support Gingrichcare as an alternative to Single Payer.

Therefore this forum has no real reason to exist.

That and it'll never happen now (Hillary, Daschle and Edwards -- who were at the table when ACA was built -- said the primary purpose of HCR was to save the private insurance industry from unprofitability when the baby boomers retire, and to stave off single payer)

That being said, I suggest perhaps the DU avoidance of this forum continue. Both advocates and opponents of Romneycare can agree it is no longer needed, at least not on this website.
