I was paying for health insurance when the ACA was passed. My cost went up and my coverage got worse, and nowadays I can’t afford any coverage at all despite making too much money to qualify for Medicaid. The ACA increased “access to healthcare” but it was an absolute, unmitigated failure - Obama got exactly what he deserved for it.
I make too much to qualify for Medicaid, but my ACA premiums, net of tax credit, are $0. Sorry it hasn’t worked for you, but that’s obviously not the universal outcome.
Hello Mr Crab! What should we cover today? Oh ok it looks like you’re on a semi-conspiracy that they will “find” aka you are implying create no votes. I think it’s enough to call out the conspiracy. I wonder if that’s enough for this one.
Ah MrCrab, you are implying that they do nothing, ever, anywhere, that any one of their voters want. Thus the semiconspiracy. As addressed in my other reply, you can’t do everything, everywhere, all at once. Because: Writing up legislation takes time, energy, and political capital. You can’t do literally everything, everywhere, all at once.
Again: Green energy, EV investment, union empowerment, student debt forgiveness, marijuana rescheduling and pardons, infrastructure, drug price controls, Chips act, PACT act, etc etc etc. Non-competes banned (by FTC along ‘party lines’). Pardoning people kicked out for being gay. Supporting Ukraine.
I like all that.
Obama’s ACA? Like.
You’re pretending that legislation can’t be written ahead of time.
You don’t blindly write everything ahead of time. This isn’t like Project 2025 where you do whatever you want despite what the people want. The situation on the ground changes, what you can fund changes, what the most important issue is changes, the findings of studies changes, which reps and which senators will vote for what. Fucking everything changes.
Obama probably wanted to do more on healthcare. You know what changed? The fucking great recession. You have to change with the situation you have.
Biden probably wanted to fund more things? You know what changed everything? Fucking COVID with another insane budget crunch. He had to focus on covid relief first. Then see how business changes coming out of that. You have to change with the situation you have.
Seriously that you want to blindly write everything is just… unbelievable. That’s dogma and ideology. Not reality, and the complexity and nuance of life (or politics, which is tenfold complexity and nuance).

So they can find just enough no votes like they always fucking do.

It’s not a conspiracy to notice that the party breaks its promises.

No, they do what you want. Break their promises and support genocide.

You lied to me. We’re done.
