First: at no time did I ever indicate that the AFC was perfect... in fact both Don & I have indicated that it is quite flawed - since it is mainly a rehashing of the Republican Romneycare formula.

Second: flawed as it is... it is a first step of many needed to achieve a good, fair and equitable system of providing health care to all Americans. Scrap only the parts that don't work and replace them with practices that do.

Third: recognize and acknowledge some of the good things that have come from the AFC. When I was 18 and a freshman in college I was no longer eligible to be on my parent's policy. Healthcare was what I could get from the campus health center... but being in good health I got by. Now I would be covered until age 26.

And what about my friends who have epilepsy? They now have access to policies that had been denied them for decades.

And preventive care... what is really health care, not the treatment of illness. There is a list of vaccines that are now covered that weren't before. The system is still messed up, but it is better than what we had before. Remember... the profit in healthcare comes from OUR pockets... lets find ways to keep that money in our pockets not theirs.
