Over-the-top comments about the ACA being worse than nazi swords.

Some yahoo claimed that the ACA created more harm to America than all the nazi swords and terrorism combined...yada yada yada.

Helping millions of people get healthcare? Really?

So what, today, could be compared to "nazi swords?" How about the rise in personal debt?

Since 2006, I've noticed that people just aren't what they used to be. Their debts are on their minds to such an extent that it really is ruining lives. Interestingly, some future debt might be prevented by the ACA since much debt is due to lack of GOOD health insurance. I don't know if you could say it's worse than all of the "nazi swords," but it might rate quite a few.

Just think, it's the GOP policies of not dealing with high interest rates (usry) that is part of the problem. Also, the GOP has eliminated programs that might help people stay out of debt. Initially, it was at the national level that assistance for college was cut but in recent years it's also been at the state level.

How can they complain about the ACA when it's the massive personal debt that's really ruining America?
