    Last time they had anything resembling a workable majority was during the Obama administration, when they passed the ACA over several months.

    How is that W working out for the people now.

      The ACA? Way better than it was before then. More people have coverage than before and pre-existing conditions can’t disqualify a person. It still needs to improve to universal healthcare, but half of the country votes for the leopards, so change is difficult and slow.

        The hospital that I worked for had a mini med plan that we paid into as that’s all our rural hospital could afford. It was a terrifying time to be alive.

      Are you kidding? I personally know people who were not insured before ACA and maybe would be with serious health issues now or possibly even dead.

      One I remember seeing crying, because insurance rejected her because she had situation where she had depression in the past and was suicidal. Like WTF?

            It sucks for me because my needs or concerns are not being addressed.

            Or you can weave whatever this pathetic angle you are going for ;)

              That sounds like a great reason to expand the support that you’re shitting on. Or you can try and make everyone else’s lives harder to try and match whatever you have to deal with personally. Your call, I don’t want to waste any more time on this one.
