If Biden really wants to sweeten this, he should propose improvements to the ACA, in addition to preserving what Republicans have thus far failed to kill. Start playing offense.
Get rid of the concept of deductibles, bring back that public option, allow year-round sign up, there are a lot of improvements that could be made. Unfortunately Democrats are not the party of solutions, they are a party of maintaining a status quo.
Ahhh!!! One is actively fascist and their front runner for the next presidential election openly says he wants to be a dictator, but yeah, both sides are just interested in offending each other. Uh huh.
One party got Obamacare done and is responsible that 40 million Americans who otherwise wouldn’t have health insurance are covered by the Affordable Care Act.
The other side has sabotaged Obamacare in any kind of way possible, has blocked the Obamacare expansion to uninsured people in their own home states, has sued all the way up to the Supreme Court to eliminate Obamacare, has campaigned for 10 years against Obamacare, and came to within one single vote of eliminating Obamacare without any kind of replacement whatsoever.
And here you are, telling us how both parties are the same.
Obamacare should be the starting point for changes in the American Healthcare system, unfortunately Democrats keep acting like it is the ceiling. No it is not the Conquering or slaying of a great dragon, it just merely putting on Armor so that fighting the dragon is feasible.
Why should Democrats want to permanently do away with the filibuster when they only ever had a razor thin majority and were facing an opposition hellbent on destroying the entirety of the Affordable Care Act and leaving 40 million Americans without health insurance?
Last time voters gave Democrats a significant enough majority, they got the Affordable Care Act. If voters want Democrats to act decisively, all they need to do is give them a decisive majority.
Voting for Republicans and then whining that Democrats get nothing done isn’t going to achieve anything.
The Affordable Care Act isn’t something that only happened once in the distant past. Hundreds of thousands of people in North Carolina will benefit from Medicaid starting December 1st 2023, thanks to the ACA.
That said: you can always vote Republican.
I hear Trump wants to repeal Obamacare and replace it with something absolutely incredible this time around.

They are a party of doing as much as they are able and not promising what they can’t do.
You’d complain twice as hard if they said they would try to implement the above then failed to get the votes
Oh please, they don’t even celebrate their victories, which really makes them look do nothing and hurts the campaign
I won’t disagree with that
I think our parties are only interested in offending each other, not in doing something that actually helps a majority of Americans.
Yawning @ yet another BoTh SiDeS

15 years ago and are still trying to coast on it.

How many out of those years did Democrats have the White House, a filibuster proof majority in the Senate, and a majority in the House?
If your answer is “zero,” then you’re just admitting that the last time Democrats had a viable majority, they actually got shit done.
They could have done away with the filibuster permanently with a simple majority.
They choose not to.
Why should Democrats want to permanently do away with the filibuster when they only ever had a razor thin majority and were facing an opposition hellbent on destroying the entirety of the Affordable Care Act and leaving 40 million Americans without health insurance?
