Nobody, I have NOT "skirted the question." Nor have I "moved the goalposts." I have given a straight answer. YOUR problem is that you just don't like the answer.

I reiterate:   That's YOUR problem.

"One more thing.. In your estimation, do you believe that the ACA is a step toward Fascism? or Communism?"

The ACA is, per se, NOT a step in either direction. In fact, Fascism and Communism are not that different. Any apparent differences are only superficial.

Learn some political science, and the definitions of political terms, such as Fascism and Communism.

Nobody, you are using the same tactics as Gust from Insanity, which tends to reaffirm my suspicion that you two are not two at all, but one and the same person.
