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.
None of what you said is the fault of democrats.
Obama would have done far better if he had a congress to work with. The GOP stuck him with the only options he had.
This is purely about too many monopolies, and America has been doing a shitty job since Reagan started the age of deregulation. And it also has to do with corporate welfare. All other budgets get cut to fund tax breaks for billionaires. So if you wonder why you cant get aid from medicaid, that is the reason. That and worker pay is not keeping up with the cost of living.
What you are now bitching about has been championed by the GOP since Reagan.
If you go look at charts of the balance of power since Reagan., the GOP has ON AVERAGE held the majority of all three branches far more than Dems.
I just heard a funny analogy about the GOP trying to undue the ACA on PBS News Hour, the guest commented.
"The yapping dog spent 7 years chasing the bus, finally caught it but then didn't know what to do."
SOOOOO TRUE!
Kinda like a shy teen boy bragging about how they are going to shag the hot cheerleader then has no clue what to do when she says yes.
