Why? Biden just reiterated again this morning that if there's no legislative movement, he'll support ending the filibuster. And on the Voting Rights Act, they could maybe even get 9 Republicans anyway in a Trumpless government. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For most of Trump’s presidency the impact on many individual day to day lives was negligible. Even big achievements are not necessarily noticeably helping that many people. People celebrate the ACA but it didn’t really help plenty of people I know. For many being on it basically is an expensive bill that makes it still too expensive to go to the doctor lol. There’s a reason the Medicaid expansion part of it is more popular than the exchanges. It’s cheaper and better a lot of the time. That's why his proposal to tie the subsidies to making Gold level the standard, low deductibles and copayments, as opposed to Silver level plans is so important and has been completely under the radar with all the hullabaloo over MFA. For years the assumption was that people overuse medical resources so it was necessary to make them expensive; a notion that has been completely rebuked. This is a major change in the whole philosophy of managed care and would change the biggest objection middle class exchange consumers had with the ACA. It's also achievable as it's paid for with modest tax code revisions that effect only the wealthy and would be palatable to moderate Democrats as well as the liberals. Like it or not for the near to intermediate future we are looking at a two tier system where seniors and low income people will be on a mostly single payer tract and those with employers based insurance or whose income is above a certain level will be in the private insurance market. That's the reality. Edited August 7, 2020 by No1TitansFan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Titans279 Posted August 7, 2020 Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 (edited) I’d still be careful about inviting Republicans into my home if I was Joe. Didn’t really work for Obama. Most of these people are not actually that different than Trump!
