AOC sold out on israel too.... They are all good at talking and doing nothing.
GOP has no problems doing whatever they want, but democrats can never pass any law that benefits working class.
ACA 13 years in has proven to be utter failures from cost and quality perspective
Normies still tlak about fewillion people pre existing conditions... Yeah good for them but how does this help people paying higher premiums for shitter coverage
I guess I missed this, but how did AOC sell out to Israel?
Her entire MO is that she doesn't support providing israel with "offensive" weapons which is why she recently vote to send more money to israel for "defensive" weapons.
She is likely setting up for presidential runs and her calculus tells her she needs Israeli lobby.
Interesting, I wonder if she voted that way to avoid supporting anything from MTG.
The access to health care they claim Obamacare provides only exists if you can afford to be price-gouged. It's working as designed, and people just kind of ignore that pre-existing condition or no, you still don't get care if you can't pay.
It was a brilliant symbolic move on Obama's part though.
you really have no idea how expensive healthcare was if you had a "pre-existing condition" before the ACA
And yet, it's only worse now.
