    To be fair, you have to credit Democrats with Obamacare which was really a way to improve the lives of poorer people

      One half-baked concession to the poor doesn’t imply their party platform is about improving the lives of poor people.

      Obamacare is responsible for finding the masses in my breasts right now so I like it. I’d like it more if just everyone could go to the doctor and not have to ask, like I do, “is it covered by my insurance”

      I credit Dems with making Mitt Romney’s healthcare plan worse, by removing the public option - the thing that would have actually improved the lives of poorer people. Instead, we simply shoveled some 30mil Americans right into the pockets of predatory insurance companies.

      The only silver lining from that legislation was preventing them from denying care due to pre-existing conditions, and that point has been an all out battleground ever since.

      You mean Romney care without the public option. Obamacare is more conservative than the actual republican plan…

        Which is the Republicans’ fault, they’re the ones that forced the public option out of the bill.

          Can you not see that the people who are disagreeing with you are merely suggesting that it is not as black and white as it being the democrats fault, or the republicans fault, that perhaps there’s more to it than which football team you like?

          It’s the corporate dems and the corporate republicans who are holding back progress… because of legal bribery - campaign donations….

          By your logic, democrats blocked 100% of Biden’s agenda while he was in office.

          Biden literally accomplished nothing during his administration, and even the dumb stuff that was passed has been clawed back already.
