Republicans have had over a decade to "fix" the ACA and the best they've proposed is nuke it with nothing to replace.
GOP is not a serious party, they are arsonists.
- Also, democrats had had since 1973 to codify roe v wade but they never did.
  The democrats are also not a serious party. They are grifters.
  And that's why we are in this mess.
  
  Democrats have proposed:
  Freedom of Choice Act
  Women's Health Protection Act
  Reproductive Freedom for Women Act
  Ensuring Access to Abortion Act
  Freedom to Travel for Health Care Act
  (And likely more I'm forgetting)
  All related to codifying Roe / protecting women's choice, and all failing to pass into law due to Republican resistance. Politely fuck off with that nonsense.
  
  The democrats only controlled congress briefly under Obama and anything they tried to pass got stonewalled by Mitch the bitch and Manchin
And thus they wish death on 10.9 million Americans
- INCORRECT...a lot of those deaths will be excruciatingly painful and some will be treatable.
  So, in essence, they are wishing a painful yet treatable death to millions.
When asked for comment the White House replied: "Yeah well the CBO are communist illegal immigrant antisemites!! The Joe Biden clone robot is remotely controlling them, they're going to be deported! Thank you for your attention to this matter."
2 trillion in tax cuts for the wealthy. We can’t afford that at all, wtf?!
DOGE cuts, as harmful as they were to government function, are not even a drop in a $2T bucket.
Mainstream Media: why aren’t you hounding repugnantcons daily about the rich robbing the working poor like this?!
The billionaires already pay on average just 8% of their income in taxes. That’s way less than the vast majority of us pay. And they need to steal from us to pay even less?! These bastards need to pay their fair share, one way or another.
- Most media outlets are owned by the wealthiest, and they don't want things going against their wants
They had weakened the aca by kicking the one leg out and this will basically push it back to where it was. hospitals will have to inflate costs to make up for the uninsured (or just go under) and its a slippery slope back to where we were. Sucks because the aca was one of the few good things of this millenia.
- The way they’re going it’s not gonna be long before we start hearing about hospitals not being required to treat you in the ER without proof you can pay to keep costs down
But the autopen. And Hunter's dong. Biden must face Republican justice.
We are adding $1 trillion every 100 days as it stands right now. So something has to change.
- Something that doesn't make it worse though, right?
2 trillion is the first year. The bill will add 20 trillion to the deficit over the next 10 years.
