    The ACA was always a health insurance industry handout. It was the opposite of a healthcare reform from the moment Obama dumped Dean over the public option. Deans whole thing was it HAS to have at least a public option or it would just be what the ACA is today: repackaged RomneyCare bullshit that functions as labor control.

      The ACA has saved thousands of lives, but cool, it’s nice to know you’re too privileged to care

          “It could have been better” is a HUGELY FUCKING DIFFERENT THING than “it is useless”

        It is a system for providing health insurance, so one would hope it would have a measurable effect, yes.

        The ACA turned my insurance from affordable to “yeah, you’re not going to be able to afford health care now, and no, you don’t qualify for cheap health care because of your situation.” Fuck the ACA and fuck the appeasement bullshit. Every single fucking citizen of this rich as goddamn fuck country should have free/very affordable health care like the rest of the goddamn civilized world. There’s no goddamn excuse any more and anyone praising the fucking ACA can go to hell.

          “Every step we take in a positive direction is actually bad because we didn’t immediately get everything we wanted”
