Obamacare would get a big (and quiet) overhaul in the Covid relief bill.

This seems like really good news. Because of reconciliation, we're only getting one shot at this, so its fantastic to see that we're making the most of it.

1. Would love to see this pass, as an early step in addressing healthcare for

everyone. Got a feeling it won’t go unnoticed long.

2. The GOP obsessed over this for a decade

and then just decided to ignore it.
Suits the shit out of me.

4. Good!

The Affordable Care Act that the Republicans were against? That they blocked at every opportunity? That Trump promised would be replaced with something much better any day now, you just wait! (And wait. And wait. etc.)

It was never about the actual 'Affordable Care' part, more about labelling it with Obama's name, and fighting against it just because it had Obama's name on it, and because it was a Democrat concept, so it had to be demonized into oblivion.

With more control to the Democratic Party this time around, it's full steam ahead!

7. Obamacare is the most important legislation of my generation.

It was always intended to be a platform in which to build. I’m glad to see the law working as intended.

A public option will be the next big battle, and one worth fighting.

8. Best to keep this quiet

these are good reforms and we don't need anyone obstructing it

9. I&Q All legislation this complex needs to be tweaked over time. Trumplicans wouldn't let that happen

while the Trump King was in office. Good to see the process has started.
