    Thanks Obama, for real though I’m on board with repeal and replace, cause this aint shit.

    But I’m not aboard with “Repeal and bring back pre-existing conditions!”, but that seems to be all the Greedy Old Pricks have got up their sleeves.

      I forget which Behind the Bastards episode first put me on to this but man, there’s such a long history of people in the US killing or trying to kill good projects because it helps the “wrong” people

    They’ve had their one shot to try and make “something better” but they’ve failed miserably. I doubt going into the next 4 years, that they’ve got anything better either.

        If Trump actually made a better plan, I’d support it. A good bill is a good bill, no matter who presents it.

        That being said I don’t think it’s likely.

      They’re going to spend the next four years breaking things and stuffing money into any place that will hold it. They don’t know how to build jack shit.

      They had multiple shots. They could easily have bill that replaces or worth something else, but they instead opted to remove it without alternative.

      They have concepts of a plan. The real plan will be out in 2 weeks, give or take. If you ask about it, the timer starts over.

    Some people believe “Trump fixed it,” because he said that.

    (He didn’t. He actually made it harder to enroll.)

    These people don’t know what’s good for them. Listen to terrible sources. And so we all suffer. I wish I could separate from them.
