Republicans have tried to repeal the ACA over 70 times over the last 15 years. They've had 15 years to come up with a replacement plan.
15 years later? They have no plan.
And today they voted to spike healthcare premiums for over half a million Michiganders.

What Democrats ACTUALLY offered farmers (buried in their platform):
$19.5 billion in Inflation Reduction Act for climate-smart agriculture
Support for independent meat processors to break up Big Ag monopolies
Right-to-repair legislation so farmers can fix their own John Deere equipment
