Morality is not at all irrelevant when discussing health care. My whole point is that there are some things that supercede fiscal considerations.

Also you make it sound as if Dems and Repubs are equally guilty of ideology, but that's not correct. The ACA in its present form is a compromise of a compromise ad absurdum. Obama and Congressional Democrats didn't even start with something ideal - they started with something reasonable and had to go from there. What we have now is the minimum that they could get through legislation. Of course it's not perfect but it's a step in the right direction.
