    You think expanding healthcare to another 50 Million People, outlawing refusal of coverage based on pre-existing conditions, is right wing? AND THAT WAS WATERED DOWN VERSION WE NEEDED TO GET THE INDEPENDENTS ON BOARD. You’ve lost your damn mind.

        Excuse me, I asked if you thought expanding healthcare to 50 million people, outlawing refusal of coverage based on pre-existing conditions, is right wing?

            Well no wonder you’ve got everything so backwards, you think people getting healthcare is conservative.

              Yes forcing people to pay corporations to get Healthcare is conservative.

              The only good part of ACA was forcing coverage of pre existing conditions. Rest just gift to insurance companies

                Lmao, expanding medicaid to 50 million people didn’t force them to pay corporations. Medicaid is payed for with taxes. This year the Trump Admin froze $425 Billion Dollars of aid including Medicaid as well as Food Stamps, Farmers subsidies, Natural Disaster Relief, Mental Health services, and Research including critical medical research.

                I think the government paying for people’s healthcare is progressive and I think we should get the dems a supermajority without relying on any Independents like Joe Lieberman so we can see it improved upon.

                  Yes when you ignore the mandate forcing everyone to get insurance it looks better. Especially when ignoring the states that didn’t go for the medicaid expansion simply to spite people.

                  Still the non moderate position in the rest of the world is universal Healthcare of makes sense why our center right parties refuse to actually go for it.

                  I think the government paying for people’s healthcare is progressive and I think we should get the dems a supermajority without relying on any Independents like Joe Lieberman so we can see it improved upon.

                  No this is why we need a progressive or leftist party in charge not dems or gop

                    If you don’t want to pay the fine for not having insurance simply check the box saying “insurance was not affordable” on your taxes. It was literally that easy, there was no enforcement at all.
