Healthcare - The ACA vs trumpCare

· Millions gained coverage: Obamacare expanded health insurance to over 20 million people who previously had none.

· Protections mattered: People could no longer be denied coverage for pre-existing conditions.

· Cost reality: While some costs rose, the law slowed healthcare inflation and expanded preventive care.

· Republican opposition: Many of the “liars and thieves” claims ignore that Republicans have tried to repeal it repeatedly, not improve it.

· Public support: Surveys show most Americans view Obamacare positively, and the claim that 70% liked their insurance doesn’t capture the millions who previously had no coverage or faced denial.

I see guys in my peanut gallery posting stuff about The ACA. I guess cause now it’s their turn to own it(?) First of all, it wasn't Obama's idea. It was the Heritage Foundation. An extremely right-leaning think tank that gave it to Mitt Romney, who instituted RomneyCare in Massachusetts - so its origins came from the Right, NOT Obama.

Sorry you were lied to about keeping your doctors, at least you weren’t lied to about banging a porn star, demolishing the White House or being best friends with a fing Pedophile…..Oh, wait…..nevermind.

No, the ACA is not perfect. It's always been a work in progress. The Republicans have blocked every chance to improve it. And they've had ten years to come up with an alternative. WTF is even up with that? I thought we were going to see some details in 2 weeks - years ago!! NOTHING Not even some talking points or rough ideas/numbers – “just concepts of a plan”
Was he lying?? That would be #34,617.

Now they own it. The question is: Will Trump come up with an alternative in less than 45 days or will he extend the subsidies until he does? EDIT He can’t extend the subsidies without the votes he’ll never get

I wouldn't hold your breath. I think this is what he and Elon meant by "there’s going to be some pain" before everybody's rolling in the dough, or at least he and his buddies will feel a little pain before they are rolling– pain from us prols screaming and complaining.

Every administration in our lifetime has tried to improve healthcare, other than the HIPAA and Portability Act in '96 under Clinton and Part D in 2003 under Bush, nothing has really been accomplished until Obama.

Most of you ultramagas are about to find out how much you rely on the ACA to cover your PreX conditions and high cost meds., not to mention your insurance premium pmnts. And how much it has lowered your medical costs.

What has trump done to lower the cost of anything? Except taxes for his friends.

Losing Obamacare subsidies isn't even the worst part. Losing Medicaid is what's going to really hurt.

If you really want to understand it, Chk this out. Transitioning from Mortgage Banking to Insurance in 2011 I've been closely involved with the ACA from it's inception.

This is the closest data I found to explain it accurately. You'd all do good to watch it - This topic and the economy is going to decide the election IMHO, so you might as well educate yourself.
