T****'s list of things he said would be "so easy" to fix "on #DayOne" (2016):

o Repeal & Replace #ObamaCare with something "better & cheaper that covers everyone."

o Declare China a "currency manipulator" as part of their "unfair trade practices" with the U.S..

o "Build a Wall™" on our Southern Border "and Mexico will pay for it."

o "Ethics reforms" to "drain the swamp".

o renegotiate NAFTA.

o Invest $550B in "infrastructure".

o #LockHerUp for mishandling #ClassifiedDocs.

How Often Do Health Insurers Say No to Patients?
No One Knows.
==

Insurers’ denial rates are a critical measure of how reliably they pay for customers’ care. But they remain mostly secret to the public.

There’s nowhere a consumer or employer can go to look up all insurers’ denial rates.

Federal and state regulators have done little to change that.

@olavf There is no doubt about that. We have a long way to go to get to universal healthcare but #ObamaCare was a pretty good first step.

How Obamacare Enabled a Multibillion-Dollar Christian Health Care Cash Grab

Capitalizing on the pressure to pass the Affordable Care Act, a conservative lobbyist created an exception for faith-based health coverage, opening the door for “bad actors.”

Amazing what the #ACA accomplished. And amazing that some politicians would rather throw their constituents under the bus.

I don't care about the Biden documents, but the #Democrats and pundits hand-wringing about Biden's 2024 run should be thinking about how unpopular he'll be when the #covid #PublicHealth emergency ends and people are kicked off #Medicaid.

Biden was vice president when the #AffordableCareAct (aka #Obamacare) passed. Now he's taking away care during a #pandemic. People are going to hate him for this, but the Beltway insiders are too out of touch to realize this

I'll phrase it as civilly as I'm able:

Those illiterate Floridian chronically unemployable morbidly obese MAGA trailer park knuckle-dragging mouth-breathers who each already have more kids than there are Miami Dolphins, need to get their tubes cut/tied.

Would #ObamaCare cover this? It should.

#SCOTUS rejects a republican attempt to have the Affordable Care Act (#Obamacare) thrown out in its entirety, ruling the plaintiffs had no standing, and leaving the entire law in place https://edition.cnn.com/2021/06/17/politics/supreme-court-affordable-care-act-obamacare/index.html

#Biden signs executive orders to roll back #Trump restrictions on #abortion, #obamacare, and family planning funding. All well a nd good, but imagine what might be possible if the US had a functioning legislature.
