    No, my comment communicated that while I still have insurance, I cant get the medications I used to get, the copays have risen to what treatment used to cost, and the cost of treatment has become a guaranteed bankruptcy without said insurance.

    ACA did not substantively change the healthcare system. It just loaded a fine onto not paying for healthcare if you are not employed, and forcing every unemployed American to pay for personal health insurance emboldened the healthcare system to start charging 100 dollars for “solid hydration therapy” aka: a cup of ice, to get all that extra money out of the insurance companies.

    It was an epic failure. An epic failure comitted while not addressing minimum wage, row v wade, or a myriad of other things BOTH PARTIES have done to us, while we are meant to believe its just the Republicans doing it.

      There’s no point in discussing this further as you’ve already made up your mind.

      Those with pre-existing contions that used to be FUCKED are very grateful for the ACA.

      Don’t hate the players; hate the game. Be the change you want to see and get the profit out of healthcare.

      Have a good day and I hope things go better for you.

        You’re right.

        I dont buy your horse shit.

        Those who existed before ACA remember what effort it took to give Dems that stage, and also remember what a waste of effort that was.

        It made American Healthcare worse. And none of the other things that “its Republicans fault” advanced.

        The 2 party system is broken. 15 years later, it’s even more broken.

        Your Dem vote doesn’t help fix that. Rep votes don’t help fix that.

        Stop being part of the problem.

        Please.

        Register independent. Vote third party.
