It's not called Obamacare, it's called the affordable care act and every time a media outlet does this it hurts the program that helps millions of people.
That’s the point.
helps people to purchase insurance with subsidies but does not help citizens have healthcare
minimum wage is still stuck at $7.25 and any healthcare solution involving subsidies that go directly to megacorps that are actually causing the healthcare crisis while still requiring massive payouts from citizens just to have healthcare does not help at all
democrat mindset of less bad=good enough is not sufficient to tackle the healthcare needs of any country
throwing some Febreze on a pile of shit definitely does not help agree but at the end of the day no matter what do or don't do still a pile of horseshit and bad for you
How do you feel about the Republican’s healthcare offerings and solutions of “fuck you die in the streets?”
I feel like my health care situation hasn’t changed in 20 years. It keeps getting more expensive and the care is worse. So idk I’m ok with “fuck you die in the streets” that was also their message from the War on Drugs. They are a consistent party.
Amen.
Obama care and aca is the same thing. Maybe it confuses people but how does calling it Obama care make it sound bad? For me Obama care sounds like a compliment to Obama, like he tried to do something good even though it was gutted by Republicans. That $500-1000 fine for not having insurance really pissed me off though. I worked overtime to make 30k annually and wasn't offered health care but also did not qualify for affordable insurance
Remember when Obama wore a tan suit and Republicans were ready to burn the white house down? That's why. For a minority of Americans they think Obama was the anti-Christ. That's why.
Leave aside how flawed the bill was, but call it what is is: the affordable care act.
Do you have any idea how 'Obama care' started? Because it wasn't his idea, it was Romney-care first. Kicker here is that Romney-care was spawned by the Heritage Foundation. The ones responsible for Project 2025.
You draw whatever conclusions you want from that.
I didn't know that. I don't remember specifics anymore, I remember the aca was revised over and over before it was approved. Should have been called the pos act
The Nazi party uses Obamacare as a boogeyman scare tactic fueled by racism and a desire to split the population more.
Its better to remind anyone using Obamacare that it in fact, Romney Care.
Ya the penalty was such a slap in the face. Health tax for being healthy. Helped to pay for these fat MAGAs who probably would have succumbed to diabetes by now.
No, it was meant to feed the fund like safe drivers do for liability insurance. Leaving only sick/older adults in (like only bad drivers) means that pay outs for claims would have to drain the fund. But you go on thinking you'll be healthy for the rest of your life.
The social contract means something.
Your ignoring how it is for profit by private insurance companies.
Yeah, we should have gotten a single-payer or government-administered system that no one could have (except maybe the Amish) opted out of. That way, middle-man costs could have been accounted for and the millionaire CEOs shut out more easily. Congress sold us out to serve the UHC and other masters.
Yea I pay the social security and Medicare taxes. I didn’t make a social contract with a fucking insurance company. Free Luigi.
I’ve got millions of dollars in taxes paid and I’m living in poverty with no access to medical or food resources lol. Social contract deez. They are using the constitution as toilet paper and you’re telling me about a social contract with a insurance company after paying in 20 years to the actual social contract that’s been disposed of for tax cuts on private jets. Jesus Christ man get a grip. Glazing the insurance industry for wut?
Wait, I was told everything, even including Faux News, was the "liberal media, though...
