    They had 4 years to fix it in the 10s, they failed to even offer a proposal. Now in 2025 their only solution is to stop paying for trans people’s healthcare and once again cut government funding for everyone’s healthcare.

    Biden was all half measures but fucking hell it was something and he was looking in the right direction even if only to avoid actually taking the correct full measure.

    Medicaid for all, with right to negotiate and restrictions on prices for medications that were developed through public funding. Also, increase the number of slots in med schools and actively work with the AMA and APA to deal with our medical professional shortage. Hell offer free retraining for any insurance workers who lose their jobs if they go into an underserved medical profession.

      I want it bad, but it’ll be at least 30 years, if it happens at all; whatever laws get passed, SCOTUS will shoot in the back of the head.

        No, it won’t happen. Republicans intend to make the position of president a dictatorship. They want themselves to be above the law as were feudal nobles of old. They have almost done it.

      I’m likely losing my Obamacare after this bill goes in effect. Fuck me. Worked for 35-years, took nothing from the government, lost my job and all I want is a little fucking help to I’m employed again.
