    I think the church can't do much more than it does.

    I frankly don't love churches Running hospitals that charge too much.

    Maybe this should go on the
    Because doctors are high-achieving, high-educated people who place a very high value on money, while cops are middling-educated, middling-achieving people who place a high value on civil service security. Which is not to say there aren't supersmart cops and really dumb doctors, it's a class thing.

    Oh it's fairly true. And it makes sense that it be true - many governors want the law to fail.

    It makes sense that way because you want it to be that way. You're confusing wishes with facts. The fancy term for that is, as I understand it, motivated reasoning. I think @RickStain's an expert on it.

    I think it's a "cops stop bad people and we should be able to handle our own health" thing, myself.

    If police services were run the way you'd like medical care to be, a 76-year-old diabetic calling about a gunman in his living room would be told that his time has passed and to just enjoy his remaining minutes.

    I need to know what race both are before I have an opinion on that scenario.

    Has nothing to do with that. Its failure is toward a greater good, in the minds of those governors.

    If it's working, that, in itself, is kind of a failure.

    It's a clever tactic.

    You seem to have missed the point here. And hang on before responding, I inadvertently hit post too soon.

    ETA: The point is that @cranberry's assertion that the states with the "biggest" ACA issues could be predicted by their non-embrace of the ACA is not as slam-a-dunk-a as you might wish.

    Again: lots of countries have socialized medicine. They do ok. It's made out to be a bogeyman that it is not. It's different. Waiting rooms aren't often like hotel lobbies. But it works fine.
