Because only a complete moron would say the ACA did nothing.
Is it great? No but it’s so, so much better than what existed before. It literally has saved many lives and if not for that shitstain Lieberman could’ve gone further.
Maybe everyone here is too young to realize how awful healthcare was before that.
Criticize sure but people sound like idiots when they downtalk a huge piece of legislation that actually improved things a lot, even if not obviously being the best solution.
Other than making it illegal to not have health insurance, and offering discounted insurance to some people based on their state, what do you think it did?
Jeez-uzz. Majick wands are in short supply. What do you expect? This shitshow has been running for several seasons. Subterfuge, chicanery and (most of all) politics have been involved in politics from day one. Life has evolved to be increasingly more dog-eat-dog in all aspects. Perhaps we can hope we’re at the peak of a cycle?
Obama did exactly what he was supposed to. Capture a popular social movement and prevent it from actually accomplishing anything.
Its why Democrats exist.
Don’t know why you are being down voted, this is 100% accurate

I agree, but it wasn’t the Democrats idea. It was the Republicans who proposed it, and the insurance companies backed because they saw dollar signs

Or you know… Actual universal healthcare and pushing to punish the financial elite for the 2008 crash
Edit: What the actual fuck happened to Lemmy?!
I’m getting downvoted for saying universal healthcare is better?? Holy shit this place became milquetoast
Ill take any other hybrid private insurance /government subsidized system than our current one. The Swiss or Dutch systems would save the US so much.
