You can dislike a policy and still be forced to live under it.
I have no choice but to use the American health care system, and I know how shitty it is, especially given the fact that Obama had a supermajority for a time and could have implemented universal health care. Few things will anger me as quickly as someone saying we have 'access' to health care when that supposed access is largely contingent on whether or not you can afford to be price-gouged.
Obama was not a good president.
You’re simply wrong here. Obama tried his damndest for universal health care. Supermajority or not, the republicans in congress used every trick in the book to stymie it until they gained the majority. The ACA was a lame compromise and the worst of both worlds, but it’s still benefitted millions including those who hate illogically.
No he didn't. The Dems were offered a large lobbyist check and took it.
Do you feel like sourcing that?
You‘re doing important work against misinformation. Thank you.
Just being a petty asshole about unsourced information, like I always have been.
Sounds good to me. :)
