promoting his health plan. I don't want m4all, either.



These leaders are with Biden fighting to keep ACA..

Biden proposes massive new Obamacare subsidies, public option in health care plan

Biden is in Good Company!




Progressives Support Shoring Up ACA Before Tackling Medicare For All

Despite a large division in the Democratic party over the best health care solution ― single-payer or a continuation and possible expansion of something like Obamacare ― progressives in Congress appear to be in lockstep with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s priority of shoring up the ACA before tackling anything like Medicare for All.

“I’m happy to support any provision that strengthens the ACA and plug some of the gaps that we’re seeing, particularly as it’s under assault by the president,” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) told HuffPost on Wednesday. “I think it’s part of a longer-term vision, at least for me, towards guaranteeing ― truly guaranteeing ― health care for all Americans.”

Looks like the House Progressives are with former VP Joe Biden

Here's Beto..


Then there's BS's opposition..

Bernie Sanders opposes House bill to strengthen the Affordable Care Act.

He has enough of a record to defend--votes, positions, comments--without something like the "kid" comment which if not an unforced error it just didn't need to be said and served to highlight his age as well as appear to talk down to a female U.S. senator.

He was horrible last night, but mostly it was the moderators pushing candidates to attack each other or alternatively pushing right wing talking points as questions that made almost everyone look bad.
