I mean this is literally true? Democrats are right wing, and can’t even present a token resistance to Trump (because for them, as super rich people, he’s good). You can’t tell me that Schumer or Jeffries have done even 25% of what they could to obstruct Trump.

It’s just not true that dems are right the last time dems had a super majority they gave healthcare to 45 million Americans. We’re in a cycle of not feeling motivated to vote for democrats, then dems don’t have institutional power, then we don’t feel motivated bc they don’t have institutional power.

The ACA was practically a failure. A GOP healthcare plan that substantially raised costs for millions of people, but did achieve important victories regarding preexisting conditions. That supermajority still saw right wing democrats gut legislation that could’ve potentially prevented the healthcare crisis we now see, or at least meaningfully abated it.

Zero republicans voted for it in 2010 to my knowledge. Instead of looking at where the bill came from why not look at the actual impact of the bill? My understanding is healthcare cost grew at a slower rate after the implementation of the aca. It dramatically increased coverage. There’s a reason why republicans have failed to repeal it, it’s been massively positive to the American public.

The ACA was essentially Mitt Romney’s state level healthcare bill, plus a public option (which Dems then cut). It increased coverage yes, but in large part by forcing people to get coverage or pay extra taxes (essentially a fine). It’s shitty legislation that made some difference but didn’t really solve any of the problems it sought out to. The rules for preexisting conditions were great though. My objection is you’re treating a tiny incremental change which was practically a legislative defeat

for Obama as some monumental solution when in reality our healthcare system is just as broken if not worse nearly 20 years later.

Yeah I understand that what you think. I don’t understand why you think that? People would currently be paying more without the aca and more people are covered.

Yeah that’s how you make it cheaper by making people get covered or pay a fee. The bigger the pool is the cheaper it is for people, that’s not a mistake of the system. It did solve the problems idk what your problem is with it?

Also you make sound like dems just randomly cut it lol. When the people who were blocking it to my knowledge were a democrat from Nebraska and an independent. There was legitimate reasons for cutting the public option and it was a net benefit.
