      I remember when Obamacare first passed the supreme court and looking over it, and trying to figure out how the fuck it was supposed to help me or ANYONE who wasn't middle class with a good income. Insurance rates by employer are so expensive and of course, none of the options I had covered dental.

      Obamacare was always more of a bailout to insurance companies than it was anything to help us. When Biden talks about "expanding" Obamacare, it's just going to force more people to pay for insurance and go into debt from it. There is a reason it's so unpopular and states across the country have been trying to get rid of it since day 1.

          100% spot on. It's a Republican written healthcare package. Also goes to show how the Democratic party moves further to the right with the GOP every decade. Even setting aside Obamacare, they have literally become the 2000s era Republican party in this election cycle. Biden is basically George W Bush 2.0 and their "law and order" campaign isn't that far off from the authoritarian measures the GOP was taking back then. Biden isn't even hiding the fact he's going to wage naked class war on us with how he fixates all the 'middle class' talk in his campaign ads and speeches.

          I remember when Obamacare first passed and libs were saying it was the first step towards getting single payer, and that is never going to happen. They spent the entire primary shutting down M4A and the Green New Deal. I don't think they remember that all through the years of Obama's second term, Republicans in red states were getting heavy support by attacking Obamacare. It's a widely hated health insurance program cause it fucks over anyone and everyone who isn't middle class.
