I think I can help:
I think Straw mean that it's only a true parallel if Obama loses his doctor as a result of pushing ACA:
- Coburn pushed for law (to require congress-critters to give up their work plan and use ACA) and lost his doctor as a result.
- Obama pushed for law (to enact ACA) and loses his, oh, his proctologist (for example) as a result.
Ya folla?
Your point, though often repeated here, that lots of others lost plans and doctors due to ACA is similar but not parallel. Though maybe you're just pointing out that Coburn is being a pussy to be complaining about stuff that many others are going through?
Congress would have their exact same insurance today if Coburn had not offered to require them BY LAW to go on the ACA
This had nothing to do with their current plan not being ACA compliant (as we all know Congress gives themselves the best of everything at our expense)
This was Coburn giving an FU to Congress after losing the ACA and no doubt he expected his suggestion to be defeated and instead Dodd accepted it.
If anyone cares to watch the entire clip or even the first two minutes you will see the argument AGAINST his idea
there is no parallel whatsoever in people who did not have compliant plans losing their coverage with Congress being forced to give up a compliant plan and be required to use the ACA
Back to the point of this thread
Coburn has only himself to blame for the fact that he is going to lose his cancer doctor (and since he allegedly has a multi million dollar net worth I assume he can afford to see any doctor that he chooses)
