Like people have never been able to get health care before this, come on G
Many millions, tens of millions, were involuntarily uninsured, Stephanie. A fact the GOP chose to completely ignore while the Democrats telegraphed quite loudly what they would do about it if they ever got the chance.
As for those who have had insurance all along, they all saw their premiums rising year after year, outpacing inflation. For decades. More and more people were getting priced out of the market. Again, the GOP ignored this.
I never bought into the "46 million uninsured Americans" crap. That was a blatant lie. But it was undeniable we had a serious problem with our health care system in America and the GOP didn't give a shit.
The GOP sold us into bondage. They knew what the Democrats would do if given a chance, and they did nothing to stop it from happening.
Now we have ObamaCare. And people are signing up and getting insurance. Five years from now, a supermajority of Americans will not want to see it go away. Watch and see.
