The White House already responded to a petition that got roughly 65k signatures. https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/response/obamacare-isnt-going-anywhere-and-thats-good-thing
:lamo I was hoping their response started with that talking point.There are a lot of myths out there about the Affordable Care Act.
It's clear that Obama won't listen to Republicans or the American people. They passed the bill without majority support and even with resistance I doubt they would let it die or get de-funded.

What would actually happen if PPACA were "defunded?"
Can anyone answer that comprehensively?
Would all the mandates and new rules for insurance companies still stand, with the only difference being no insurance subsidies? Or something else?
Not as much as the republicans would like you to think because most of the spending is entitlement spending which is not subject to specific appropriations.
Mandates, rules, and regulations would still stand. So would the subsidies, if I understand it correctly because they are entitlements.
Things like increased funding for community health centers, etc would take the hit.
Maybe a few policy wonks who specialize in the PPACA, but not me nor anyone on DP
Hmm, name and email. I am sure that is 1.5 million people who actually exist. Oh well, I guess if it helps you to think you did something, go for it. Just a stupid point, but you could probably do a lot more if you just made up names and emails. I am sure you could get that up to 2 million if you really put in the effort. Now shoo, you have work to do.

Prattle on... :sinking:
