According to columnist Paul Krugman, the Republicans in the prime time debate referred to God 19 times, but mentioned the hated “Obamacare,” which the G.O.P. has tried to repeal again and again, only nine times.
Perhaps headlines like the one in today’s Morning Call are making the Republicans reluctant to push for repeal. The headline: “Health insurance coverage soars under ACA.”
In 2013 there were 14 states in which over 20% of the population lacked health insurance. Today there is only one. It’s Texas, home of Ted Cruz and Rick Perry and a whole bunch of Tea Party politicians who would rather have people die than support a program initiated by President Obama.
Make no mistake about it, if a republican is elected to the White House and the House and Senate stay in republican hands it will be done away with ASAP. People need to be educated on this issue so they understand what will happen when they lose their insurance.
ReplyDeleteI found it interesting when Trump talked about how he buys politicians for what he wants. The rich want to scrap the ACA for their own personal gain. I hope people heard heard his words and speak with their vote.
