1. Sanders Immediate Concern is to Save ACA

Sun Sep 17, 2017, 06:15 PM

Sep 2017

He's on-board for saving the ACA from the Republican Hatchet-Attack.
Let's all get on-board.

John McCain, Susan Collins have turned tail and will vote to repeal ACA.

Lindsey Graham repeal bill is a vicious attack on insureds, especially in states regarded as blue. Will put ACA money in block grants so that Republican governors can squander money for health insurance on other projects.

They are determined to recreate a feudal society. and keep people in fear and want.

Our immediate concern is to beat back yet another disastrous Republican proposal to throw millions of people off health insurance and re-direct money to to the well-off and to pet projects.

I read it. Facebook isn't Twitter and there's not a word about ACA in his Twitter feed. ucrdem Sep 2017 #11

I follow Bernie and I see it on his Twitter feed. Autumn Sep 2017 #17

Lol! Cracks me up. So Sanders' reference to the latest effort to repeal and replace the ACA isnt tha Arazi Sep 2017 #12

He doesn't mention or defend the ACA, no. Not once. Not in his current Twitter feed. ucrdem Sep 2017 #13

Keep on kicking this. Exposes how deep the Bernie hatred goes Arazi Sep 2017 #16

I'm not claiming he says something he doesn't, and he says nothing about ACA in his Twitter feed. ucrdem Sep 2017 #18
