And just think that our collective taxes could have paid for your life saving treatment instead of going to tax breaks for the rich.
Before the ACA I had no healthcare and nothing has changed. Glad it worked for you but even with your triumph it has left many more dead than need be for the greed of the few.
As long as people admit that the good isn’t perfect and that they’re gonna work to make it more perfect I don’t mind.
But Democrats passed the ACA and then decided that’s the best we could possibly do, and that anyone who wants more is somehow being more unreasonable than our current health care system.
Realistically, single payer isn’t going to pass without Democrats holding the house, senate, and presidency at levels that bypass filibusters. And then the Republicans will drag their feet as much as possible to do everything they can to delay progress.
Perfect would have been enacting laws that prevent corporations from owning our government. Single payer is the cake and we got crumbs to fill the masses appetite. The ACA was labeled as a stepping stone and was really just a law requiring you to buy into the insurance scam they had no real intentions of fixing.

I hate to speak for everyone else here, but I think its also important to remember to not let perfect be the enemy of good.

What makes you think they would pass single payer even with all of that control?
Theres a reason the democrats just said “oh well, better luck next time” when they lost to trump this election.
