I know this is far fetched BUT most of the change starts 2026 so my question is can we reverse all there bullshit!

Almost the entire Republican Party is complicit. They are also psychopathic in their desire to destroy those who are powerless.

We will have to start with a brand new bill. And the word is, they will put a provision in the bill that single payer is banned in all states. We could not do what they are doing in reconciliation as there will be no offset money left...and would need 60 votes for any bill...unlikely. We have had a super majority twice in 30 years.
