It’s not called Obamacare, it’s called the affordable care act and every time a media outlet does this it hurts the program that helps millions of people.
That’s the point.

helps people to purchase insurance with subsidies but does not help citizens have healthcare
minimum wage is still stuck at $7.25 and any healthcare solution involving subsidies that go directly to megacorps that are actually causing the healthcare crisis while still requiring massive payouts from citizens just to have healthcare does not help at all
democrat mindset of less bad=good enough is not sufficient to tackle the healthcare needs of any country
throwing some Febreze on a pile of shit definitely does not help agree but at the end of the day no matter what do or don’t do still a pile of horseshit and bad for you
How do you feel about the Republican’s healthcare offerings and solutions of “fuck you die in the streets?”
I feel like my health care situation hasn’t changed in 20 years. It keeps getting more expensive and the care is worse. So idk I’m ok with “fuck you die in the streets” that was also their message from the War on Drugs. They are a consistent party.
Amen.
Obama care and aca is the same thing. Maybe it confuses people but how does calling it Obama care make it sound bad? For me Obama care sounds like a compliment to Obama, like he tried to do something good even though it was gutted by Republicans. That $500-1000 fine for not having insurance really pissed me off though. I worked overtime to make 30k annually and wasn’t offered health care but also did not qualify for affordable insurance
Remember when Obama wore a tan suit and Republicans were ready to burn the white house down? That’s why. For a minority of Americans they think Obama was the anti-Christ. That’s why.
Leave aside how flawed the bill was, but call it what is is: the affordable care act.
Do you have any idea how ‘Obama care’ started? Because it wasn’t his idea, it was Romney-care first. Kicker here is that Romney-care was spawned by the Heritage Foundation. The ones responsible for Project 2025.
You draw whatever conclusions you want from that.
I didn’t know that. I don’t remember specifics anymore, I remember the aca was revised over and over before it was approved. Should have been called the pos act
Ya the penalty was such a slap in the face. Health tax for being healthy. Helped to pay for these fat MAGAs who probably would have succumbed to diabetes by now.
Wait, I was told everything, even including Faux News, was the "liberal media, though…
I don’t desperately need medical care, but my heart burns for anyone who does rn.
I received a message that my “so cheap it was basically free” plan will be 400$ a month starting in 2026. I’m going to call in on monday to tell them to cancel it.
People will die because of this as a direct result.
I don’t desperately need medical care
Here’s the thing: you don’t get to pick when you need medical care.
Mood as someone who never thought abt breaking a bone. I broke my collarbone this month and now owe $600 in medical expenses. I was barely keeping up with my monthly premium bill at $60. So yeah my insurance is going from $60 to $160 with the removal of the advanced tax credits to my plan, I have no idea what to do except not break another bone and cancel my plan.
I’m in the same position.
Isn’t this why the US government is shut down? To avoid this specific thing?
It’s shut down to bring attention to this and demand extended subsidies that prevent this kind of thing. The shut down is a bargaining chip, not a solution.
Smith and Wesson is my health care provider. This is America!!
