The point of ACA was to make not being insured more hassle than being insured, to motivate you get insurance, not complain about the hassle of being uninsured. Maybe you philosophically oppose insurance, but it isn't ineffective at its stated goal

You may be confusing "isn't interested in disucssing it with you" with "isn't up for discussion at all". Maybe you bring less to the conversation than you think you do, in some cases.

Try putting as much effort into correcting your own mistakes as you do into correcting others. Being correct but in a biased way is practically equivalent to being wrong.

Ultimately all you can do is gently guide the world toward secular humanism, as people raised under the irrational tribalism of any religion struggle to writhe out of the pit they were born in. Calling out the faults of one flavor of religion is silly.

Is this a fabricated controversy to drive readers to medium? The author of the rebuttal is a medium employee, and the original article was utter drivel to begin with (and completely on trope: a grandparent quoting pseudoscience to explain biases about their grandchildren), written by someone with no audience.
