2. We need to make sure all of our citizens know who is destroying their benefits
Mon Jan 2, 2017, 05:12 PM
Jan 2017

Polls indicate that a lot of folk do not realize that the Medicaid expansion, the Black Lung Benefits, the elimination of the cap on life time benefits, the pre-existing conditions protection, the allowance of older children on family plans, the "best practices" standards for hospitals and doctors, are all part of Obamacare.

When they lose these benefits, it is the duty of our party to hold the Republican Party accountable.

We need to make this loud and clear, through protests, paid ads, public announcements.

Every Democrat in every media appearance should include this info.

We should hear more about the death of Obamacare than we heard the word Benghazi over the last four years.
