      That may be true but vetoing something new and killing ACA are completely different things. Biden wanted to expand on the ACA instead because it would have been able to cover 97% of Americans. So it’s not like Biden was against universal healthcare. On the other hand Republicans are well on their way to kill any hope of universal healthcare and social security. At least with Biden/Harris we would have had one or the other. My mother was saved by Obamacare because she couldn’t get health care with her preexisting conditions.

        And obamacare/ACA is still here. Trump didn’t get rid of it. Nobody is going to get rid of it just like nobody is gonna get rid of the migrant workers. It’s all hot air and always has been.
