Republicans had seven-plus years to develop an effective replacement for Obamacare (ACA) and they failed miserably.

Trumpcare would have been a human catastrophe. Because millions would have lost insurance, thousands would have died and millions would have endured untold suffering. Millions more would have suffered with inadequate, more costly junk policies. Like the pre-ACA days, hundreds of thousands would have declared medical bankruptcy annually. All to provide obscene tax breaks for Republican paymasters, the ultra wealthy.


'A big thank you'

Prove me wrong

Fire frustration

In town halls nationwide, people vehemently oppose repeal of the ACA. Polls show the majority of Americans want the ACA retained and improved, but Republicans are hellbent on repeal so as to destroy anything Obama, even when it causes far-reaching cruelty.

They may postpone the effective date two years to make time to draft a replacement, however, time is not the issue. Given their ill-conceived, barbaric attempts to date, it’s obvious Republicans are incapable of devising a replacement plan that genuinely serves the people.

Instead of miring in their contorted failures, let’s move to the ultimate solution: Medicare for All. Let’s make it happen in 2018.
