    Some people believe “Trump fixed it,” because he said that.

    (He didn’t. He actually made it harder to enroll.)

    These people don’t know what’s good for them. Listen to terrible sources. And so we all suffer. I wish I could separate from them.

        so they know what they’re supposed to hate.

        a poll asking about ‘affordable care act’ only, with no mention of ‘obamacare’ will get significantly different responses than one that does reference president obama.

          That really shows just how childish the Republican base is. Liberals aren’t lying when they say these people only listen to buzzwords.

          It should forever be referenced as “The ACA (Obamacare)”. Never let anyone forget what they did.

      This^

      A lot of polling found support for the ACA jumped when it was referred to by its actual name and not OBamacare

    Thanks Obama, for real though I’m on board with repeal and replace, cause this aint shit.

    But I’m not aboard with “Repeal and bring back pre-existing conditions!”, but that seems to be all the Greedy Old Pricks have got up their sleeves.

      People forget what the originally Obamacare was supposed to be. Republicans are the ones who watered it down. If they replace it, it will be with nothing.
