2017 and they said they were going to replace ACA....it is now 2020. Nada.
Cha
(297,137 posts)you said it.
Vicious heinous assholes.. trump's gone.. and ACA is still hanging on.. Hopefully Biden can build on ACA.. that's one issue he campaigned on.
Maggots weren't going to do anything about health care.. too busy trampling on everyone's right to vote, healthcare, and they were going to take away Social Security.
These are some of the reasons why 80 Million people voted Joe Biden & Kamala Harris.

(83,739 posts)ACA will be one of Biden/Kamala top priorities. He also is going to have a mound of shit to clean up when he reaches office so I hope people will give him time to wade through.
I will say his team will be the best of the best and they will be on top of things.

They were celebrating the repeal of ACA/Obamacare in the Rose Garden. All those men celebrating taking away women's rights to their bodies. Not one woman was on that panel.
Everyone of those M*****F***ers are laughing. Each and everyone of them.
This was 2017 and the said they were going to replace it with the Republican healthcare plan. That was three years ago and they have nothing!

This image repealing Obamacare - laughing at the idea of taking away a persons right to life seems to really illustrate their evil NAZI gangster nature.

Just What Were Donald Trump's Ties to the Mob?
I've spent years investigating, and here's what's known.
By DAVID CAY JOHNSTON May 22, 2016
Excerpt...
No other candidate for the White House this year has anything close to Trumps record of repeated social and business dealings with mobsters, swindlers, and other crooks. Professor Douglas Brinkley, a presidential historian, said the closest historical example would be President Warren G. Harding and Teapot Dome, a bribery and bid-rigging scandal in which the interior secretary went to prison. But even that has a key difference: Hardings associates were corrupt but otherwise legitimate businessmen, not mobsters and drug dealers.
This is part of the Donald Trump story that few know. As Barrett wrote in his book, Trump didnt just do business with mobbed-up concrete companies: he also probably met personally with Salerno at the townhouse of notorious New York fixer Roy Cohn, in a meeting recounted by a Cohn staffer who told Barrett she was present. This came at a time when other developers in New York were pleading with the FBI to free them of mob control of the concrete business.
From the public record and published accounts like that one, its possible to assemble a clear picture of what we do know. The picture shows that Trumps career has benefited from a decades-long and largely successful effort to limit and deflect law enforcement investigations into his dealings with top mobsters, organized crime associates, labor fixers, corrupt union leaders, con artists and even a one-time drug trafficker whom Trump retained as the head of his personal helicopter service.

We ought to get them. We may get them. It's not a done deal just because Biden has won. He still has to choose to appoint such people, and they have to choose to stick to their principles. There are no guarantees.

(13,036 posts)is going away anytime soon. It's evident the US is a 60/40 nation. The disinformation, lying, distortion of truth, tolerance of corruption, white nationalism, discrimination against minorities, racism & subversion of the legal system, voter suppression...all of this will continue at least for the next generation.
What worries me is the nazi Cotton & other racist members are angling for 2024. Don't forget though Biden's win is the most votes ever, the Con is second in highest votes counts - he got ~72M. Unfortunately not enough conscientious eligible voters participate in elections. If the good sensible citizens do not turn out in future elections, the corrupt party may again win elections and reverse changes made by Dems administrations.
We need to remain vigilant and work our butts off to get sensible voters to the polls as in this election, to ensure our democracy remains intact and fascism never takes control as it did the past 4 years.
