Here's my health care plan.

[Mr.Bill]

The Affordable Care Act before we allowed republicans to attach over 100 amendments to it, before Joe Lieberman's vote had to be bought by giving him everything he wanted and a new pony, before Marco Rubio tried to destroy it by removing subsidies for the insurance companies and before Trump used his filthy tiny hands to sign multiple executive orders to try and destroy it.

That's what some candidate should say. Some candidate named Joe.

1. +1. Although implied in your post, throwing mandatory Medicaid expansion out. That really hurt ACA.

[Mr.Bill]

2. I think that was one of the republican amendments. n/t

4. Had there been a sincere effort to tweak and improve the ACA over the last 10 years,

things would be much better now.
But the goal of Republicans was to make Obama a 1 term president and when that failed their goal was to destroy anything good he did or tried to do. Trump is just carrying on with their work.

[Mr.Bill]

5. Yep. Those that can't understand why the repubs like Trump

so much aren't seeing that his value to them is he is an idiot who will sign anything they put in front of him without reading it. A legislator's dream.

6. Speaker Pelosi-There's no need to reinvent health care -- just improve Obamacare

I agree with Speaker Pelosi https://www.cnbc.com/2019/09/17/nancy-pelosi-no-need-to-reinvent-health-care-improve-obamacare.html?__source=sharebar|twitter&par=sharebar

Democrats should focus on making improvements to Obamacare instead of trying to reinvent the wheel with “Medicare for All,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Tuesday.

“God bless” 2020 Democratic presidential candidates putting forth Medicare for All proposals, Pelosi said in an interview with “Mad Money” host Jim Cramer. “But know what that entails.”

Pelosi’s thoughts on how to improve the nation’s health-care laws appear to align with those of former Vice President Joe Biden, who in his 2020 presidential bid is calling for building on provisions of Obamacare, formally known as the Affordable Care Act.

“I believe the path to ‘health care for all’ is a path following the lead of the Affordable Care Act,” Pelosi told Cramer. “Let’s use our energy to have health care for all Americans, and that involves over 150 million families that have it through the private sector.”

7. NBC/WSJ poll shows Biden's healthcare stance (optional Medicare buy-in) much more popular
