Ideally, I’d love for Dems to just start taking credit for everything MAGA brags about. Since apparently the Republicans aren’t in charge.

    Being pregnant was a preexisting condition that increased your healthcare costs or even made you unable to get healthcare before the ACA. The ACA sucks, but what we had before it sucked even more, shut the fuck up.

        I’m sorry you feel that way without providing any sort of story. Please explain how your family got fucked over by other people being able to get healthcare through the removal of preexisting conditions as a basis for rejection.

          I have a story. I almost started typing it but I have reason to believe you’ll just disregard it. So I don’t think it’s worth my time. Why is it you think no one got fucked over?

            No, I think you really need to expand on this horse shit you’re trying to sling.

            Please explain how your family’s situation got worse. NOT why healthcare is still a mess, because it is, but how your situation got WORSE after the ACA was passed. What was better about your situation before the ACA?

            … I think people will think you’re a liar, and if anything, it looks like you chose to shut up, which is sort of a win for me?

            I, frankly, cannot find a possible way that the ACA fucked you and your family over more except if you ran a health insurance company, unless you want to argue your insurance premiums went up because insurance companies still wanted to make a profit after being forced to actually cover healthcare. But, in that particular case, the insurance company fucked your family over, not the ACA.

            “I’ve totally got a story, but people doubted my premise without hearing my story, so now I’m not going to tell you”

            Yeah OK mate. I forgot 12 year olds have healthcare-related stories.
