If you are one of the millions that will lose your health insurance, our deepest sympathies to you and your family. The Republicans have the votes to repeal the ACA and to take the proceeds from the repeal and give them to the Trump family and the top 1% in the form of a huge taxcut. It's not your fault. I am sure you voted for yourself and your own family against this bunch of lying crooks.
It's sad that the Democratic Party has gotten itself into such a condition that they cannot help you. They cannot defend your interests. Your country is now run by Donald Trump and Goldman Sachs. The Democratic Party, once the Party of the people, is now a minority Party across this nation.
But, look at the bright side. At least, we are getting change.

(6,716 posts)she absolutely would have protected us from these vultures. In fact, I think we grew complacent because Obama did such an amazing job.

She would have vetoed any attempt to legislate away the ACA, and that would make it harder.
And there would be no evidence to impeach her.

(92,061 posts)the media hype, it appears that it is DOA in the Senate.
They House republicans voted over 50 times to repeal the ACA, and it wouldn't get past the Senate
I don't think either party wants to get rid of the Senate filibuster for legislation
This is just a media show playing for the cameras
Sanity is very welcome.
