The UNACCEPTABLE failures to enact gun control measures:
Government officials DON’T pursue common sense gun control due to lobbying efforts, political polarization, differing interpretations of 2nd Amendment & electoral pressures created by a highly engaged MINORITY of voters…

The ACA isn't just "health care for people who don't have a conventional employer." It also disallows something that was incredibly common 20 years ago, which I fear is getting lost to generational memory: insurance companies could deny you health care for essentially any previous health problem.
