#Obamacare

2 posts2 participants0 posts today

Every time one of these dumbasss #Senators starts to talk about healthcare, and this includes ol' #brainworm hisself, is to remind them that we-the-people don't have their level of healthcare (paid by us) in terms of quality or quantity.

Put these dumbasses back on #Obamacare with the rest of us, and then I bet we'll see improvement...

FYI for US #LGBTQ folks/allies: the #Trump administration is soliciting public comments about a proposal to remove gender-affirming care as one of the essential health benefits (#EHB) that must be covered by companies that provide health care insurance through #ACA (#Obamacare). You can read about the proposed change here (Ctrl + F "sex-trait modification"): federalregister.gov/.../patien...

#23andMe bankruptcy underscores why none of us can have nice things, like #privacy. Your family member who fell for this long con also exposed you! Data brokers are already dealing with insurance companies on your genetic risk profiles, now Americans with a family health history are tainted and soon uninsurable. #Obamacare soon to be replaced with "palliative care gardens" across the street from the hospital with lovely benches to die on.

The #ACA / #Obamacare is a popular but not overwhelmingly popular system (60% popularity). It left a lot of the problems with the #private, #forprofit #US #medical system intact and is vulnerable to #farright attacks.

Only 8% of #Democrats oppose #MedicareForAll, yet no Dem politicians pursue it. Ask why.

Reminder: This was the #RonaldReagan #Healthcare Plan made by the #Heritage Foundation who would then make #Project2025!

"Contract Against America".

Whoever decided to turn Newt Gingrich's sick plan from the 1990s ("Contract With America") against the GOP was a genius.

That said, I won't be surprised if the people who voted the GOP into power this year don't stand up and demand that their healthcare be preserved against the tax cuts for billionaires.
