How many people enrolled under Obamacare? It sounds like this is just getting us back to pre-Obamacare levels.
24 million people losing coverage is a bad thing no matter how you spin it. Obamacare should be made better and amended, not destroyed.
By "better" do you mean by raising the upper middle class's taxes more?
We could probably get every single person in the U.S. on by simply raising taxes. The Fed. Gov. has to make tough choices and balance everyone's interests. Doctor's don't work for free so we simply need to find a reasonable balance.
By better I mean not stripping millions of their coverage. The AHCA is class warfare, a brutal attack on the poor, old and sick, who could lose coverage or have their premiums go up by 750%, and a giveaway to the young, rich and healthy who do not need help. Why are you even a Democrat if you support such an awful plan?
Because I was against the Iraq War.
I'm for gay marriage.
I'm sort of for abortion.
I generally believe in civil liberties.
Generally support minority rights.
Generally against a police state.
I'm ok with reasonable environmental regulations.
I don't like Donald Trump's attack on the media.
Though, this board does make me question why I am a Democrat. I find most of the democrats here to espouse pretty pathetic political views. It's sad that we have such crappy political choices in this country.
Re: the Obamacare/AHCA thing. I support going back to what we had before this Obamacare mess started... a position that was fine for a long time in this country.
"people are dying but muh taxes are too high so idk if we should help them out"
