62. "Medicare for All is more accepted now because of the popularity of the ACA."

Jun 2018

After being scared out of their wits about Obamacare, many people came to see that the ACA was a good thing. They got over the socialism scare and had a taste of what it's like not to be powerless against the insurance companies. Then along comes Trump who wants to take it away and go back to the bad old days. Of course Medicare for All has more support. Thanks, Obama and Pelosi!

Yes, Thanks, Obama and Pelosi!

I fail to understand why some people think it's okay to take credit from others.
