to be repealed, folks are praising it. It always needed improvements, but by bashing the ACA and Obama, we played right into the GOPer's plan.

A public option and single payer were both suggested by Sen. Stabenow at the rally today as a way of improving it.


P.S. Really good turnout for the rally. It was kinda cold so everyone kept their speeches to around 5 minutes each. Bernie was maybe ten minutes but that is pretty short for him. I saw him do ~50 at the same college (inside) during the primary.

Mostly older people there too. Not the young Bernie supporters I was seeing at his earlier rallies. Of course there were some, but it was definitely a different crowd.
