ACA sucks, except as a liberal scam to take over our entire government. We don't want you totalitarians in charge any more than we want to kowtow to Red China. Communism has no place in America or anywhere else in the civilized world. Rock this, commie.1. Wrong. Read the fucking LAW before you post nonsense.At present the 538 poll shows that Trump's approval and disapproval are both about 48%.
How Americans View Bidenâs Response To The Coronavirus Crisis
We’re tracking how concerned Americans are about COVID-19, the economy and President Biden’s response to the coronavirus pandemic.projects.fivethirtyeight.com
Those numbers are very partisan with both parties disagreeing.
So lets look at it differently.
Since Biden originally called Trump's travel ban "xenophobic", and now supports it.
Who would you rather as president to manage the COVID-19 response, Trump or Biden?
(hint: remember the Obamacare rollout and how well that went?)
Trump did nothing for 2 months since he knew about the virus in January. He spent those 2 months in denial and accusing the Dems of a "hoax". He appointed 2 inexperienced hacks to head his response to the virus, instead of medical and science professionals. So let's look at it differently, yes? Hint: Obama care was very successful and Trump, jealous of all things Obama,
tried to kill the program rather than fix it. Oh, he promised better, cheaper healthcare to replace it. A feckless grifter.
1. Trump got the CDC and FDA and Task Force up and running in the 1st two months. The CDC was woefully inadequate for the testing capacity needed. So Trump got commercial labs involved.
2. The democrat "hoax" is alive and well, accusing Trump of mismanagement, when Biden wouldn't have implemented the travel ban, which now he approves?! Totally inept Biden, still always wrong.
3. What two "hacks" are you referring to? Pence was a governor used to managing responses to emergencies. His appointment gives the medical team the time to work on the disease, instead of trying to figure how the government works.
4. Obamacare rollout was not successful, it was a disaster, so says CNN.
Rough Obamacare rollout: 4 reasons why
It seems like a long time since Vice President Joe Biden whispered a bit too loudly to President Barack Obama that his imminent signing of the 2010 Affordable Care Act was "a big f---ing deal."www.cnn.com
1) commercial labs were deliberately shut out of testing for COVID - & exclusively given to the CDC - which ended up giving faulty tests & their lab ended up being CONtaminated - losing us precious time to get ahead of this virus.
How the government delayed coronavirus testing
2) to donny, the (D) 'hoax' was that (D)s were saying this virus was going to explode & yes - closing the border to china was a good idea in hindsight - howeverrrrrrrrrrrrrrr - the chances are very high that the virus
A) was already here,
B) amricans scrambling to get back b4 we closed up shop, & them believing they would not be able to come home - some ended up bringing the virus back with them
C) it has been determined that the first hotspots in the US that broke out in NY - the majority of the victims were from europe - countries that donny didn't shut out until later on
3) pence was governor of indiana when HIV was rampant & his first course of action, was to close down the only planned parenthood in the state - the only facility that tested for HIV - then when his advisors were telling him to set up a needle exchange program - he decided to 'pray' instead - allowing even more people to die b4 he finally relented & the needle exchange program immediately showed results that lowered the infection rate & death toll.
4) obamacare has many faults - but overall people are happy with it - so much so, that scaring people into realizing it can be taken away (it's in the courts right now to dismantle the WHOLE thing) that townhalls were filled with people fighting to keep it & the 2018 election turnout, that flipped the house showed just how much people want to keep it.
The CDC does all testing unless the FDA approves the outside lab test.
2. OK, the China travel ban was a good idea, also agreed that banning travel from the EU sooner would have been better.
3. OK, maybe one "hack" not two, huh? Pence is doing a great job managing the Feds response to COVID.
Trump's war on opioids is saving lives, look at the death rate for the Obama years, 2019 & 2020 should be lower yet. Overdose Death Rates

4. Agreed that 2018 was mostly about Obamacare. IMHO healthcare was better before Obamacare. We paid premiums and got good healthcare. Now we pay premiums, AND pay $10,000 deductibles and don't get "healthcare", just what we pay for. That's extortion.
ya ya ya................ & donny could have & should have waived the regs b4 any testing was to be done so it would be done on a mass scale. he waited until the tests were deemed defective & the lab was CONtaminated. that's when he decided to waive the monopoly & now we are dealing with huuuuuuuuuuuuge back logs & shortages on the components needed to perform them .
lol.... you can blame marco rubio for the hugge hike in premiums when he put a poison pill into the omnibus that scaled back the subsidies promised to bighealthcorp so they would accept the so called 'high risk corridor' & not lose their precious profits. combine that with the promise to repeal with nothing to replace thru them into a tizzy as well.
b4 the ACA, only group insurance offered guaranteed protections such as mammograms, well child visits, pregnancy coverage etc....
individual coverage did not - charging very little but offering very little coverage as well & a lot of people didn't know that until it was too late.
AND with the ACA, 80% of yer premium dollar (for individual policies) & 85% (for group policies) went directly to yer healthcare per mandated rules.
if the ACA goes away, so does that protection & the pencil pushers will be pocketing YOUR hard earned cash & say tutt tutt, too bad for you.
