All the Republicans bitched and moaned about for seven years was repealing Obamacare, and they failed to repeal it when they had the chance, having control of both Houses. McCain even had a 2016 campaign ad in which it was stated that he was leading the fight to repeal it. No repeal yet. As far as Obamacare, who can actually afford that shit? I draw social security and I work part time in a warehouse as a Non-Con Reach Truck put away driver. The insurance deductibles where I work is far too expensive so I can't afford to get insurance through my employer. The wife tried to sign us up for Obamacare but it too was going to be far too expensive and they suggested that we should try for Medicaid in my state. Tried that, but Medicaid said I made too much money to qualify. Working part time on warehouse wages and drawing social security is making too much money? I'm part of the working poor who pays into the system, but can't benefit from the system, only to be fucked over by the system. The wife and I are without healthcare. Can't afford it. I think that every piece of shit in Washington who imposes mandates on everyone else in the country should participate in those mandates themselves.
Ok, so public healthcare is not accessible for you. Private healthcare is not accessible for you. Doesn't this fairly scream at you that something needs to be done?
Also, members of the US congress are mandated to obtained their health insurance via Obamacare exchanges.
