Obamacare was the compromise. Remove it and we'll just work that much harder to get Medicare for All and join the rest of the developed world with universal access to healthcare and not destroying your financial future.
Do you have any idea how long it took to make any kind of healthcare reform happen when we finally got the ACA? If we just remove it, that’s not going to make everyone “work that much harder to get Medicare for All”, it will set us back arguing over even the things that the ACA got us. Suddenly, denying coverage for pre-existing conditions is back on the table.
And what the hell would Democrats say to the tens of millions of people who lose their health coverage when they vote to repeal the ACA? “Don’t worry, this is going to make things so desperate that we’ll all feel really determined to pass universal healthcare!”
It makes absolutely no sense what you’re saying!
Considering the Dems have had control of the house and senate only 4 of the last 44 years, I'd say it's been 40 of the last 44 years we've gotten nowhere.
Repealing the ACA without replacement would result in the immediate loss of healthcare for 45 million Americans. That’s a wildly irresponsible proposal.
Biden tried applying the same pressure by repealing Title 42 without restricting immigration for almost two years, while pressuring Congress to do their job and pass immigration reform. They failed, and now he has to return to restricting entry due to lack of state housing and federal budget.
Republicans don’t care about people as much as they care about winning.
