34. What kind of twisted logic is that?

The PPACA is the closest we've come to Universal Healthcare therefore we should go no further? Now, I'm not trashing the PPACA, its been a lifesaver for many Americans including several in my family. However, PPACA is effectively a set of rules designed to govern the already existing health insurance marketplace. I emphasize that it is the PPACA and not just the ACA as much of the achievements of the policy are in the Patient Protection category rather than affordability. PPACA didn't create a universal healthcare system, its still the same healthcare system. People still have to deal with private insurance companies and pay ridiculous premiums. As for MFA, the plan put forward would cost the United States $6 trillion less over the next decade than the current system would. And what about all the Democrats on board with MFA. You know, people like Cory Booker, Tammy Baldwin, Kirsten Gillibrand, Kamala Harris, Liz Warren and a number of others? Are all of them just partaking in a cruel marketing scheme to fool the American people?

Oh Lord, looking over the threads I realize how silly that sounded. liberalnarb Jun 2018 #30

How about the ones who voted for Obama? aikoaiko Jun 2018 #10
You mean the people who were unhappy that he didn't assuage their white fragility? (nt) ehrnst Jun 2018 #13
maybe, I don't know their feelings about their "white fragility" or Obama's response to it aikoaiko Jun 2018 #14
