and something real or don't post.She's a communist LARPer. Runs into the streets to shout in front of the camera then runs back to her mansion. Nothing done, emotions high in her low IQ voter base, mission accomplished.
Successful? Seriously? Not according to anyone I know, but I suppose it just depends on what you mean by success.
and BTW, obamacare is wildly successful and wildly popular.
i dont like it myself, but the facts dont lie

A 7 year old article from the LA times? I guess I'm convinced.i guess you must know a lot of rich white dudes then.
again, i dont like the law.
but america does. by a HUGE margin.
here is why it is successful
Column: Republicans call Obamacare a 'failure.' These 7 charts show they couldn't be more wrong
Congressional Republicans, evidently hoping that by repeating an untruth they’ll convince American voters, and perhaps themselves, that it’s a truth, on Wednesday said the Affordable Care Act has “failed.”www.latimes.com
The law that single handedly destroyed the American healthcare system, Physician private practices, the American dream, your health, and instead fueled the rise of healthcare conglomerates.

Let me rephrase this. “The people that I have with Obamacare are generally frustrated by the costs but are overwhelmingly appreciative that they can actually see a nurse practitioner.”the people that i have with obamacare are generally frustrated by the costs but are overwhelming appreciative that they can actually see a doctor.

"...can see a provider."
stop it.
i prefer to think of myself as a caregiver. or team member. provider is so 2005
you are very predictable.
they are happy they can see anybodyLet me rephrase this. “The people that I have with Obamacare are generally frustrated by the costs but are overwhelmingly appreciative that they can actually see a nurse practitioner.”
we are still waiting for trumps healthcare plan that he was going to release "in 2 weeks"...
Republicans had control of the white house, senate and house of representatives from 2016 to 2018
They could have used reconciliation.I agree that those two years were wasted in many ways.
However, unless “control of the senate” was 60 senators, then GOP didn’t really have control of the senate.
Swoosh!stop it.

I think it's impossible to repeal socialist policy, no matter how disastrous it is.I agree that those two years were wasted in many ways.

this was 3 days ago.I think it's impossible to repeal socialist policy, no matter how disastrous it is.
I think Obamacare helped a small subset of the population and hurt everyone else.
It would be amusing, if it weren't so tragic, that Democrats are clutching their pearls now about "bad insurance companies", that they enshrined into their socialist agenda are now even more empowered to fleece the American healthcare system.
If it's so successful, Democrats would be running on it. Ads on TV for Democrat politicians would proudly announce their winning message, "I helped bring you Obamacare!!!" Why aren't we seeing that?
You're really proving my point here. Biden doesn't want to say the toxic word, "Obamacare". And he LOVES insurance companies.this was 3 days ago.
maybe you should expand your media selections?
Biden rips Trump, GOP over repealing ObamaCare, supply chain issues
President Biden criticized Republicans and former President Trump on Monday for efforts that he argued would make the supply chain more vulnerable, including undoing some of his major accomplishmen…thehill.com
"
In the meeting, Biden referenced a Truth Social post from Trump in which the former president revived calls to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act if he wins the 2024 election.
“My predecessor, once again — God love him — called for cuts that could rip away health insurance for tens of millions of Americans on Medicaid,” Biden said. “They don’t give up. But guess what, we won’t let these things happen.”
block grants to states, correct?You're really proving my point here. Biden doesn't want to say the toxic word, "Obamacare". And he LOVES insurance companies.
I support Medicaid by the way.
Yeah, something where the fed matches the state with block grants is ok with me. The state needs to be on the hook for the spending because they have to balance their budgets, unlike the fed.block grants to states, correct?
i hate being in the position to defend the ACA, but it is indeed popular. and your thought about entitlements is true. hard to take back once given.
i guess 40,000,000 is "a small subset of population". 12% of US population... and about 15% of the US population that is not medicare eligible...I think it's impossible to repeal socialist policy, no matter how disastrous it is.

i agree with this..I've said many times on here that I support a fully socialized healthcare system if it completely unleashes and takes its hands off an entirely separate free market healthcare system. Insurance companies have zero place in either system. The socialized system would be a sort of VA/Medicaid/Medicare hybrid, with ubiquitous, government-run low cost clinics and hospitals.
As for the free market, there's no HIPAA, no EMTALA, no ICD-10 or CPT... It should run just like any other business environment. The safety net is the socialized system.
I despise the word "coverage" but otherwise agree. Coverage is what insurance companies sell people. Healthcare is what we're offering.i agree with this..
universal baseline healthcare to provide well care, preventative medicine, ER and hospital medicine, palliative end of life care.
some baseline coverage for issues that affect quality of life. ie joint injections and epidurals.
no insurance involved. no entities double dipping and pushing up healthcare costs.
self funded care for the rich. and gofundmes.
wildly successful and wildly popular?!?! you crack me up. Just when I thought you were getting wise you say something ridiculous.and BTW, obamacare is wildly successful and wildly popular.

My sister and brother in law had to go on it temporarily and get their two young children on it. I heard first hand how horrific the entire process was. Getting signed up was a bureaucratic, red tape nightmare. Imagine trying to talk with someone on the phone from the DMV to get your health insurance. And then imagine being directed to a website that actually didn't work. It literally took them days, not hours, on the phone and on the website to set everything up. Complete nightmare. Then once they got coverage it was the bare bones high deductible crap that doesn't cover anything. Not a bad safety net I suppose, but hardly anything you personally would be satisfied with.... wildly popular my ass
All government handouts are popular. All the freebies the dems throw out there are popular. That’s why they keep getting re-elected. Buying their voting base. They ain’t dumb. Unfortunately it just increases our tax burdenits not "good insurance". but its insurance.
and they CHOSE the high deductible crappy plan.
all the ACA does is basically ensure that you can get coverage and provides mimimum standards
and you are totally missing the point. i am not arguing for the quality of obamacare. all i am saying is that it is popular. an anecdote here and there means nothing.
what would have happened with your family before the ACA went into effect? would they have had coverage at alll?
also, what in the world made you think that I am wise?
The most offensive part of the law - the mandate where democrats demanded every American spend their hard-earned money to buy insurance from their crooked insurance buddies - was repealed. That was my main issue with the law.Obamacare unlikely to be repealed
Trump targets a bigger, cheaper and more popular Obamacare
Why the law could be harder to repeal in 2025 than it was in 2017.www.politico.com
