Don't tamper with the Affordable Care Act

Mr. President—tell us you'll hang tough and allow the implementation of the ACA to continue as planned. Don't let the relentless noise from Republicans or skewed reporting by the mainstream media kill this before it's started. Allowing people to keep their lousy insurance plans will gut the Act—exactly what Republicans are looking for. Hang tough for all of us—don't allow Congress to mess around with the ACA. We need to get the law implemented, not kill it in the crib.
Why is this important?
Don't buy into the hype about letting people keep their functionally worthless, low-cost, low-value health plans. The Affordable Care Act is supposed to make healthcare more affordable for EVERYONE! The President needs to ignore the noise and hang firm for his signature achievement! Keep the individual mandate in place and make insurance companies provide better plans, as the Act directs. We need to fix the rollout & website, and let the process go forward. There are always problems with something big and new. Mr. President, don't give in to these bullies!! You know what's right - let the rollout continue and get the law implemented!!! We need to give it the time it deserves, not kill it in its crib! Republicans are counting on your lack of resolve in the face of pressure. Show them they're wrong! Don't give in to political pressure! Don't let Congress start tampering with this first step toward better healthcare for us all! Do what's right!!
