    And what will they say when they are?

    Signs so far are that the chaos will be far worse than his first time. I'm fastening my seat belt. The most bizarre thing to me is that the press, by and large, treats Trump as though he is not insane.

    Yes, rather frightening wouldn't you say?

    Keep in mind that: (1) the ACA today is nothing like what the Obama administration initially envisioned; (2) the ACA we have today is not the ACA envisioned by the Obama Admin nor is it the ACA passed by Congress; (3) The ACA today is what remains of the ACA after the Trump administration ignored enforcement of the individual mandate and after the Red States sued in the Supreme Court for the right to opt out of Medicaid expansion; a essential part of the ACA passed by Congress. This Red States' move left millions not making enough to qualify for premium subsidies and not being able to qualify for medicaid. You are experiencing the wreckage left after the Republicans destroyed the ACA. What is still referred to as the ACA is nothing like the ACA envisioned by the Obama administration, nor is it the version passed by Congress. The ACA today is the wreckage that remains after the Republicans took a wrecking ball to the ACA passed by Congress.

    Yes, that was a great part of the law -- you earn too little money, so Congress assumed someone else will take care of your health (the states).:banghead: And if that someone else decides not to have their taxpayers give the poor a big subsidy, the poor have no health coverage.

    Maybe next time, they should read the bill and think of the consequences before passing it.

    Sometimes you have to pass a bill to find out what’s in it.

  9. Keep in mind that: the dems rushed a bill through that they knew wouldn't hold up at SCOTUS. The knowingly wrote a flawed law instead of working with republicans to finalize a bill. The dems fucked up. They had no leadership and the dems couldn't pass a bill that would hold up.

    Dems tried to work with republicans. Republicans were going to kill any bill just to spite Obama.

    remember in 2018, they controlled all the branches and couldn’t pass a healthcare bill at all.
