I'm going to lose my health insurance

Last edited Wed Oct 7, 2020, 11:50 PM - Edit history (1)

This 6-3 right-wing majority on the SCOTUS will kill the ACA. RBG’s death sealed our fate.

Many of us didn’t bother to turn up in 2016 because Sanders didn’t get the nomination. Why can’t our side play the long game?

its still not played out. If the supreme court were to cancel it, I am sure Biden and congress would enact medicare for all. zit would precipitate the issue which is why we got to have a landslide and get the senate too.

Don't get your hopes up thinking they wont. After that there is only going to be one way to fix it if we get the Senate. We are going to have to expand the court to reverse the damage republicans have done.

we have to see how this plays out. I will also lose mine too. One thing though I'm determined not to live a life being controlled by corporations. If I have to die at a young age I guess I will have to accept that. I'm at peace with it right now. I can't live a life being slave to these corporations due to health insurance.

For the past four years t's been an emotional roller coaster ride with all of Trump's shenanigans. Thank God for John McCain's thumbs down NO vote at the 11th hour in 2018. I had made several calls that night to Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, and John McCain and then thanked them.

so important that is when we add four more justices...Biden knows what they are. He won't help Trump by saying so now but as Schumer has said everything is on the table.
