What health care? My "cheap" state health care that goes up 40 dollars every six months? It started at 30 and now I'm paying over 160 a month for it. Stop fucking around and make this single payer already. There are fuckloads of Americans. We can pay it even without the obscenely rich helping.
See the thing is Democrats, if you are going to paint yourselves in as the heroes, you actually have to go after the things you say you will; not just campaign on them and then disregard them when things become 'difficult'.
I don't think you'll find many people that don't look at our current healthcare system as a wreck. People are paying $150-$300 a month for a coupon that takes 70% off their next hospital bill of $200,000.
A better message would be that Trump is coming for our Democracy.
But this current message lacks any perspective on our current healthcare system.
I'm a software engineer making serious bucks, and my job's plan is like a fraction of most people. When I worked at a bar, I was paying twice as much in today's dollars.
I'm sorry you're in that situation, but this is wrong.
He successfully created subsidies that brought Affordable Care Plan enrollment up and brought the number of uninsured Americans down from 14.5% to 11% through the American Rescue Plan Act, which removed a cap on eligibility for subsidies above 400 percent of the poverty level and limited premiums to 8.5% income among other things.
Every action he's tried to take in the healthcare front has been blocked by others, lawsuits from drug companies, Congress, you name it. States were supposed to take increased funding and expand Medicaid access for people outside the income range for ACA at the same time as the increased subsidies. Many did. Several did not (take a guess which).
He's certainly a flawed president and I wish Democrats ran someone stronger, but this critique is provably false. He has mentioned it and tried to take actions to improve healthcare access.
Of course he could do more, but saying "no mention" is either willfully ignorant or trollish or angered exaggeration. This is on top of the health care improvements he managed to get into the Inflation Reduction Act and proposed healthcare funding in the budget he released in March (which is again supposed to expand Medicaid and Medicare).
which removed a cap on eligibility for subsidies above 400 percent of the poverty level
This is the opposite of what i said. I dont make too much to qualify, i dont make enough to qualify.
States were supposed to take increased funding and expand Medicaid access for people outside the income range for ACA at the same time as the increased subsidies.
Im aware. This happened 14 years ago. He campaigned on closing this gap, he has not mentioned it since elected.
OK, the only US candidate to mention Universal Healthcare for all Americans was Marianne Williamson. The rest do not give a shit about the massive healthcare dumpster fire.
The one who was pandering about healthcare in the campaign and did nothing? At least RepubliKKKans are open about being fascist genocides not just cover it up with an empty speech.
Bruh, its not 'short term memory' issues when you're talking about shit from 40 years ago. That's generations of time. Spoken word oral tradition shit.
Bring up shit that's happened this century, not shit that happened before the internet was more than just ARPANET or wearing onions on your belt wasn't the hip new thing.
