A simple question: Was the Opiod Epidemic a direct consequence of the Affordable Care Act? Yes or no?
Does anyone have any evidence to substantiate or contradict this theory? I was watching the news a few minutes ago, and it was said that the American opioid epidemic reached its peak in 2016...
I keep seeing Republicans saying we can't afford healthcare for everyone.
And we know emergency room care will bankrupt us.
So who lives and who dies? And how do Republicans decide? A lottery? How?
2018 elections, ACA, and pre-existing medical conditions.

-destroyed ISIS (which Obama helped create)

Everything the left-wing ideology touches, it destroys. That was proven yet again with Obamacare. Millions lost their healthcare coverage and their doctors (despite the lies of Obama). Healthcare costs skyrocketed (despite the lies of Obama).

And now if you want to repeal the Obamacare law, if you speak about it on a college campus, the Democratic party will send in the new KKK, which the terrorist organization called Antifa, and they will smash everything.

I just can't wrap my head around who would support these people. John Kerry infamously quipped about how the wealthy need to "pay their fair share". He specifically cited the needs of his state of Massachusetts. So what does he do next? He goes out and purchases a $7 million yacht and stores it...
So right now - progressives are all "panic-stricken" over their projections that 20 million will be without health insurance as a result of the repeal of Obamacare. They are doing their typical crying, throwing themselves on the floor, pretending the world is going to end, etc.

Now that he has been elected, Trump seems to be wavering on his pledge to repeal and replace Obamacare. He now is saying that it can be modified somehow. He says that he wants to keep the requirement that insurers not be allowed to deny coverage because of pre-existing conditions and that young...
