End of life care is some low hanging fruit. But it's dangerous politically, especially with all the misinformation that has become popular.
Most people do not want extensive end of life care but their families opt for it.
Leviticus 19:33 And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not do him wrong. 34 The stranger that sojourneth with you shall be unto you as the homeborn among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.

I think the initial goal was single payer government healthcare: that's why they said to pass it to see what was in it. It's why Obama was ok with passing a flawed bill---they *wanted it to fail* so they could 'fix it' with single payer.
That cat is pretty much out of the bag. So here we are, with republicans holding the bag. I'm glad the bill didn't pass.

Trump is at least damaged, the country is damaged..nobody wins except the extreme partisans.
..DC at it's finest.
If you're keeping partisan score at home, Trump is damaged lol.
But like I told someone else that's kind of short-sided: the win or lose has yet to be determined because it's dependent on what the state of healthcare will be two years from now---it can go either way.
We'll see what happens next.

Some say that about SP, but I think we all realize that we'll never see that in this country. Taxes will not be raised that high. What we do need, is a public option.
And again...the law was written with the express plan to get a lot of sick people healthy, and to prevent a lot of very costly procedures in the future. This takes a handful of years to bear fruit, and House Republicans destroyed that ability via funding cuts. Shame, really.
The problem trump faces, is that no matter the nickname of the ACA, healthcare is now officially his fault...good or bad. When you control every aspect of govt. it's hard to explain why you didn't make the simple tweaks necessary to fund a law that was working.
Once in a while you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.
LOL, if/when that happened you would know...
I would certainly agree on those two issues..
Unfortunately there is a large # of (mostly uneducated/poorly educated) ignorant fools in this country that are so narrow minded & stupid that they are easily lead away from supporting their own self-interest...
"There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

No it isn't.
But allowing it to die a natural death has always been an option, politically: the democrats would have their name tattooed on the disaster. And with some luck, they'd be more willing to reach some sort of compromise with Trump and the republicans.
Which is more or less Trump's strategy at this point.

macro-analysis:
HCare is now a Dem's issue for better or worse. That's why Trump is using a 10 foot pole when talking about it.
Long run Trump doesn't have to defend HC.
But can he cobble a coalition for wall,and tax reform ( where he should have started) with this loss?

AMERICAN HISTORY ITSELF IS A TESTAMENT TO THE STRENGTH AND RESILIENCE OF AFRICAN PEOPLE. WE, ALONG WITH THE COURGE AND SACRIFICES OF CONSCIOUS WHITE AMERICANS, LIKE VIOLA LIUZZO, EVERETT DIRKSEN, AND MANY OTHERS, HAVE FOUGHT AND DIED TOGETHER FOR OUR FREEDOM, AND FOR OUR SURVIVAL.
In America, rights are are not determined by what is just, fair, equitable, honest, nor by what Jesus would do. Rights are determined ONLY by what you can DEMAND.

I don't care. The bill sucked.
You seem to place more importance on the person than the legislation.
Of course had it passed I am sure you would be spinning a yarn of negativity about that too
Fortunately I don't take anything you say seriously. You are just a diminutive lefty troll with zero imagination
