    Thanks Obama, for real though I’m on board with repeal and replace, cause this aint shit.

    But I’m not aboard with “Repeal and bring back pre-existing conditions!”, but that seems to be all the Greedy Old Pricks have got up their sleeves.

      I forget which Behind the Bastards episode first put me on to this but man, there’s such a long history of people in the US killing or trying to kill good projects because it helps the “wrong” people

    They’ve had their one shot to try and make “something better” but they’ve failed miserably. I doubt going into the next 4 years, that they’ve got anything better either.

      They’re going to spend the next four years breaking things and stuffing money into any place that will hold it. They don’t know how to build jack shit.

        If Trump actually made a better plan, I’d support it. A good bill is a good bill, no matter who presents it.

        That being said I don’t think it’s likely.

      They have concepts of a plan. The real plan will be out in 2 weeks, give or take. If you ask about it, the timer starts over.

      They had multiple shots. They could easily have bill that replaces or worth something else, but they instead opted to remove it without alternative.

    Some people believe “Trump fixed it,” because he said that.

    (He didn’t. He actually made it harder to enroll.)

      He made it harder to enroll for those people. Less people on the Obamacare, more for the right people

    These people don’t know what’s good for them. Listen to terrible sources. And so we all suffer. I wish I could separate from them.

      This^

      A lot of polling found support for the ACA jumped when it was referred to by its actual name and not OBamacare

      They’re the ones who gave it that name.

        so they know what they’re supposed to hate.

        a poll asking about ‘affordable care act’ only, with no mention of ‘obamacare’ will get significantly different responses than one that does reference president obama.

          It should forever be referenced as “The ACA (Obamacare)”. Never let anyone forget what they did.
