During the final months of his life, my husband received compassionate and highly skilled care from an RN from the Republic of the Congo. I’ll be forever grateful that this individual chose to come to our country.

Elected officials in the Democratic Party never did any of those things and never directed that they be done. This is a blatantly false equivalency.

Doesn’t know what else he can say. How about “The president’s comments were despicable.”

By the way, the president is commander of chief of the U.S. Armed Forces. He is not commander-in-chief of the U.S. The country is run by three branches of government, not one.

ACA would be much more affordable than it is, except that Republicans were unwilling to accept any plan that did not give business to private insurance companies. I have Medicare, and it is truly affordable. Why can’t everyone have that? Republicans don’t want it. That’s why

If you don’t like insurance companies, then please use your voice to lobby for Medicare for all or something similar. But we know that that won’t happen overnight. The only fix that will work right now is to extend the ACA subsidies.

The ACA subsidies that they refuse to pass are money to help people pay for health care via a marketplace that is already set up. So they can just pass that and call it something different.

These guys think you can just flick a switch to make these changes. I’m sure there’s a ton of red tape involved. Bureaucracy doesn’t move fast…unless, of course, they’re cutting off aid to needy people…for that, they act quickly under this regime.

IMHO the graphic could have been better. You have to study it a bit, which most people won’t do when watching tv. But it’s good that they tried.

Has he ever looked at the ACA web site? The ACA *does* give you a choice between multiple instance companies and multiple levels of coverage.

Their party insisted that insurance companies be involved in the ACA! Otherwise we’d have a much better system, similar to Medicare.

Came to do us harm…by wanting to harvest our crops, fix our roofs, care for our lawns, clean our houses, and build roads and offices. People who do this work deserve to have decent health care, papers or no papers.

As a citizen who closely follows the news, I have observed only one “riot” in the last five years. It occurred at the U.S. Capitol in the month of January. I’m not going to mention names or specific dates…you all know what I’m talking about.
