“Note that I have only take the time to provide a sample of the many lies and misrepresentations used to pass the ACA.”

Which I managed to smack down with almost no effort. Your “sample” provided no real “lies”. Sorry.

“I am sure you would have many excuses to all the others though.”

They’re not “excuses”. They’re facts. They’re corrections to the wingnut talking points that have been twisted out of context and then fed to you to go out and parrot. And you’re right — whatever else you might provide could probably also be easily debunked.

“Unfavorable views have dominated since its inception save for a handful of months.”

Until Republicans threatened to take it away and were finally in a position to do so. Then it got popular pretty fast.

Keep in mind also that a fair amount of the “unfavorable views” of the ACA came from progressives who didn’t think the ACA went far enough, and wanted a single-payer plan instead. I seriously doubt they all voted for Republicans for federal, state, and local offices as a result of the ACA.

Now, about the Trump/Putin meeting at the dinner. I don’t think that anyone has a problem with these two having a conversation at a dinner that was designed for mingling and small-talk conversations. But when these two leaders talk for an hour with no other participants in the conversation, it’s difficult to believe they are merely chatting about their grandchildren. And the fact that there was no US interpreter (while Putin had one of his own), is problematic, as this put all the cards on the Russian side.
