Highlight:

Bernie Sanders - saving ACA is first priority [View all] Arazi Sep 2017 OP

Looks like Bernie is feeling the heat from comradebillyboy Sep 2017 #1

He explicitly said the same thing during his Medicare for All roll out Arazi Sep 2017 #3

Then why push a bill which has zero possibility of happening tymorial Sep 2017 #5

What a shame that Glamrock Sep 2017 #7

I don't believe I said any of that tymorial Sep 2017 #8

Agreed Glamrock Sep 2017 #12

I disagree with what they did...they are all running for president...and I would not vote any of Demsrule86 Sep 2017 #66

It does generate excitement which the Dem party desperately needs now Arazi Sep 2017 #9

It will generate criticism...already it begins...with the CBO scoring...next Demsrule86 Sep 2017 #67

He isn't seriously pushing that bill. JI7 Sep 2017 #10

Yes, it's a gamble mountain grammy Sep 2017 #19

And the millions that lose healthcare? I guess they don't matter in this 'quest'? Demsrule86 Sep 2017 #68

"Do as I say, not as I do." He should have delayed his roll-out for 2 weeks pnwmom Sep 2017 #28

It is basically a replacement bill. It should not have been rolled out. Demsrule86 Sep 2017 #69

Medicare for all is essentially a replacement plan for the ACA...why would anyone think it is a Demsrule86 Sep 2017 #63

He's very much in tune with the people he is leading, and feeling no heat. It's not the first time Autumn Sep 2017 #4

What is everyone's beef with Bernie? Eriez Sep 2017 #11

It's just the "No we can't!" crowd who doesn't want to admit Bernie Quixote1818 Sep 2017 #14

What? fleabiscuit Sep 2017 #59

Aren't Pelosi bashers still bashing her for saying exactly this just recently? BlancheSplanchnik Sep 2017 #15

Yep. nt SunSeeker Sep 2017 #21

😡. Sounds like misogyny to me. n/t BlancheSplanchnik Sep 2017 #41

Trust your instints, Blanche. SunSeeker Sep 2017 #43

Ayup. Geez, I started noticing it, and being outraged, when I was in early elementary school. BlancheSplanchnik Sep 2017 #60

Good. NT Adrahil Sep 2017 #16

Good to know. nt SunSeeker Sep 2017 #20

Except that he didn't say that at all. ucrdem Sep 2017 #24

Implied. n/t crosinski Sep 2017 #25

In the entire series he doesn't mention the ACA once. ucrdem Sep 2017 #27

Demonstrably wrong Arazi Sep 2017 #29

That's from July 3. Today is September 17. nt ucrdem Sep 2017 #30

Oh look, another one (of the hundreds of times he's mentioned the ACA by name on social media) Arazi Sep 2017 #32

Cute. Moving of goalposts. You said he was averse to saying "ACA" Arazi Sep 2017 #34

Is there another health care program that the Republicans are going to vote on Autumn Sep 2017 #45

Yes. His own. That's the only "health insurance" mentioned in the entire feed. ucrdem Sep 2017 #46

You believe McConnell will bring Sanders' bill up for a vote??!! Arazi Sep 2017 #48

If you're suggesting that the feed is misleading, I won't object. nt ucrdem Sep 2017 #49

Strange last I knew Bernie's Medicare for All doesn't cover millions of people yet and as far as I Autumn Sep 2017 #52

That is not the point...he should have at least mentioned the ACA. Demsrule86 Sep 2017 #70

The current R bill he's referencing is Graham Cassidy Arazi Sep 2017 #26

Nowhere does he say "saving ACA is first priority" or even mention the ACA. ucrdem Sep 2017 #33

Lol, nobody's fooled. Carry on Arazi Sep 2017 #35

How about a link? Demsrule86 Sep 2017 #64

You're correct. (It's disappointing.) NurseJackie Sep 2017 #37

Thanks. Just another day in #fakenewsworld I guess. nt ucrdem Sep 2017 #40

Oh please, it's crystal clear what Sanders is talking about. white_wolf Sep 2017 #42

Yes it is. He's talking about his own legislation. Period. ucrdem Sep 2017 #44

The tweet that was quoted referenced 'yet another disastrous Republican proposal' white_wolf Sep 2017 #47

The problem is that he fails to mention the ACA. I think we've established that. ucrdem Sep 2017 #50

Whatever, it's crystal clear what he is talking about. white_wolf Sep 2017 #51

Glad to see this. riversedge Sep 2017 #31

OK I am for saving ACA katmondoo Sep 2017 #36

Walking & chewing gum... disillusioned73 Sep 2017 #53

So why didn't he introduce a bill the improves the ACA? NobodyHere Sep 2017 #54

lets always make our gestures as small as possible...don't push for the dream and undershoot... JCanete Sep 2017 #55

Why hasn't anyone? Is it his sole responsibility? N/t TCJ70 Sep 2017 #56

I'd like to hear more voices backing ACA - better happen FAST flamingdem Sep 2017 #58

The ACA just needs full funding for improvement at this point. crosinski Sep 2017 #61

of course we need a bill to fix some things...that is what we needed...we didn't need a Demsrule86 Sep 2017 #65

Actually, we don't. crosinski Sep 2017 #71

Good maybe it will help get his followers who have been posting that they aren't worried about the Demsrule86 Sep 2017 #62
