Ole “Mitch, Mitch, Son-of-a-Gun” McConnell ‘accused’ the democrats of wanting “socialized, European-style medicine” for Americans! Actually, what we REALLY want for everyone is what the 75 year-old Senator from Kentucky already has – it’s called “Medicare”!
Oh, and, by the way, “Mitch, Mitch Son-of-a-Gun” is, in typical childish Republican fashion, blaming the Senate Democrats for his inability to marshal his troops to destroy healthcare for 16,000,000 Americans and raise the premiums for the rest by at least 20%! I guess maybe we DID expose his troops to the realities of his plan, but I think it says loads about his ability to keep as many as he did enthralled to screw over the people they were supposed to help and protect. He actually did quite a good job of leading his minions down the Road to Hell! Way to go, Senator!
The ACA does need adjusting. Damage was done when the Supreme Court disallowed the mandate to enforce that the states all join, state’s rights and all that nonsense (TIC), and many states (including mine) opted out of accepting federal funding. That was the beginning of the money problems which are now escalating. Then when Trump was elected, the insurance companies started withdrawing certain programs and coverages, thus compounding the fiscal issues exponentially. Meanwhile, the CEOs of many insurance and for-profit medical companies receive salaries in the multi-millions.
Fox News morons said “congrats healthy people are paying for sick people.” Uh yes, that is how insurance works. And those healthy people will be sick someday, so they should buy into the system. Same goes for cars, houses, etc.

It’ll be back. These people are tireless in their attempts to destroy this country. Look for Yurtle to slip parts of it into unrelated legislation.

The law exists, just change a couple of words: change province to state and Canada to United States.
