    Default The victory of Obamacare

    We're down to only eleven states who haven't adopted the Obamacare Medicaid expansion, and there's a reasonable chance Wyoming, North Carolina, and Kansas will accept the Obamacare expansion this year.

    ‘A complete about face’: Some Republicans change tune on Obamacare’s Medicaid expansion

    The latest round of Medicaid expansion negotiations comes as states prepare for the eventual end of the Covid-19 public health emergency, and as nearly a third of rural hospitals are at risk of closure.

    No, don't you remember Trump ended that on day one.


    Ooops, I forgot, he only promised to end it.

    Obamacare has been fantastic. It has caused hundreds of small family practices to be sold to giant hospital chains that do little but refer you to one of their own specialists who continue down the line to another. The paperwork train requires two or three people just to record the work of one doctor.
    Good doctors have taken the opportunity to retire early and many specialists have left for more rural hospital clinics where the bullshit is not yet as deep.
    My brother-in-law was diagnosed in early September with a bone on bone hip joint. The soonest replacement schedule is the end of Jan. This story is repeated for many with joint replacement needs. I was a runner and long time golfer and had a hip replaced a couple of decades ago. From diagnosis to the operating room was two weeks.
    For those idiots who do not understand, you have succeeded, we have become a third world country with respect to medical care.

    Even if your post was true, handjob, its a massive repudiation of the republican party who was unwilling or unable to change, modify, or replace the ACA, despite promises from day one to do so.

    Every other industrial country has universal care. It removes all the problems of people unable to afford regular doctor visits. It allows people to change jobs without a medical gap. It allows people to start a business of their own without going without healthcare for their families and employees. When people are in foreign lands for a while, they site gun violence and our healthcare system as the things they do not miss.

    If by victory you mean 'he increased the healthcare premiums for tens of millions of families in the US', then yes, quite a victory.
    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.
