And for the record, there's no such thing as insurance for a pre-existing condition. It's welfare.
I take it you never had a family member with a serious illness that was kicked off a health plan, or who changed jobs and had to acquire new insurance. I haven't been in that situation but I can surely sympathize with those in that situation, even the republicans understand.

My replacement would be a Govt. option. The private market is out of joint and needs some competition.

All the stuff supported by the GOP does not work unless you offer a good product at a fair price.

Even Corporations large and Medium have premiums over 10k/person.

Way over priced.

But are they? When a policy costs someone $150 a month and the same policy costs someone else $1200 a month, they are simply passing on the policy costs to other people. Sure, people who get a tremendous deal like it and they don't care one iota about the nameless, faceless, families who are now juggling bills trying to meet mandated exorbitant health insurance policy costs.

Quit acting like there isn't a mountain of welfare and costs to the middle class built into the ACA. It needs to go. The middle class owes you nothing.

Most poor areas are overwhelmingly Democrat.

Really?

These states have the highest percentages of poverty in the country: Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, West Virginia, Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, South Carolina, Arizona, and Georgia. https://www.fcnl.org/updates/top-10-...n-the-u-s-1630
Quote:
Eighteen of the 19 poorest states have legislatures where both chambers are Republican controlled. New Mexico (46th richest, fifth poorest) is Democratic. But there isn’t another blue or purple state until you get to purple Maine (31st richest, 20th poorest) with its “split†legislature of one party in each chamber. All the states in between (such as Tennessee and Florida) are Republican, both chambers. So is Michigan, where Republicans hold all high state offices (where Donald Trump won in 2016). Above New Mexico, you jump all the way to middle of the pack Vermont (27th richest, 24th poorest) to find a state with both legislative chambers held by Democrats. https://www.usatoday.com/story/money...es/1694273002/

That sure works great when you get diagnosed with a serious illness like cancer, can't work for months or years, lose your income, lose your employer provided insurance.

The Democrats should NEVER have passed a plan where someone earning $45,000 gets a subsidized plan for $200 a month, and someone earning $50,000 pays $1000 a month for the same plan.

Didn't anyone think it though before voting on it?

The Liar in Chief never should have promised to put a 'far better than the ACA' plan in place soon after he took office as it's obvious he never had a plan.
