I can't believe some Libs/Progressives here would rather see the ACA struck down [View all]

90% of the bill is GREAT policy/reforms, yet some here seem they would rather have nothing than something already helping millions of citizens. Lives have been and will be saved because of this bill. No more discrimination, gender price-gouging, denials due to pre-existing conditions etc. My kids can stay under my healthcare until 26. Little kids who battled cancer won't be denied due to pre-existing conditions. The list goes on and on. This shouldn't even be a left/right issue, this is a moral issue, and this bill is the morally correct thing for our society, our country, our citizens.

This bill helps unemployed, disabled, children, students, elderly, working Americans. I love nothing more than watching the pseudo-"prolife" crowd squirm with hypocrisy as they call for the defeat of a bill that will save lives. I thought we were better than that. Yes I know single payer would be FAR better, but that's not what were talking about here, we need to live in the moment and fight for the future. We're talking about going back to the status quo of corpo-fuckery & shenanigans with zero accountability vs. a bill that chips away at that and holds them more accountable, morally and financially. We should now be trying to fight to move forward with improving upon this bill, not tearing it down. The ACA also adds millions to medicaid by raising the poverty level cutoff, which is kinda the point.

This bill may even help you one day, or your child or spouse.
