“The UAW and other Unions who once supported The ACA are now against it now that they know what’s actually in The ACA”
The reality is that ‘our’ government hasn’t read a bill in decades. I can’t recall which admin absolved them of that responsibility, but any government which votes on anything they haven’t read should be recalled. Period.
So, what’s the Republican plan to improve health care?-Answer: the Republican party does not want our health care system to be improved. -Republicans filibustered their own proposal after it was supported by Obama. McConnell stated in an interview on Fox “news” that the American health care system is the best in the world and needs absolutely no improvement.
Quit reporting Fixed News talking points. The UAW wants its members who are part time to be included in the ACA since their plans don’t qualify for the individual mandate (which includes a tax cut).
And if the Dems hated the law then they would have gone with the Tea Baggers and repealed it a long time ago.
Many people now know the content of the Affordable Care Act, because they’ve experienced its effects themselves. These include: millions of people who can now afford health care insurance thanks to the ACA; millions of residents of New York State (for example) whose insurance premiums have decreased by as much as fifty percent due to the ACA; millions who’ve received rebates from insurers due to the ACA; millions like my wife and me, who’ve seen their prescription drug costs plummet, as the ACA closes the notorious “donut hole”; and so on. These are specific and confirmed effects, in contrast to the nebulous scare stories (otherwise known as lies) promoted by right wingers and accepted by fatuous low information folk.

A diaper in need of changing would be more accurate for the repeal crowd.

Tigger, when you make up people’s statements, don’t put them in quotes. It tarnishes your already lousy credibility.

There is NO excuse for that.

Ms Pelosi was referring to the media and she said: “We must pass… before you can read it…”
