He's my guy because I'll always vote for the Democrat because education and health care are the most important issues to me. I happen to agree with the Democratic's positions in those areas. The only way I'd ever not is if the majority of the party suddenly became AOC/Bernie Sanders and our economy would go down the drain. One hopeful thing of a Biden presidency would be he could help soothe the divisiveness that Obama and Trump helped exasperate with their narcissistic personalities.

The ACA may have made things better for some people but for the majority of people it made things worse. High premiums and ridiculous deductibles are its main accomplishments. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Brown Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 5 minutes ago, 3rdnlng said: Yes, and how have the democrats improved either of those areas in the last several decades? The ACA has increased coverage to about 20 million people and have decreased overall bankruptcies despite Republican opposition. Although it varies by state, overall premiums are increasing at a slower rate compared to the few years before the passage of the ACA. If they can get a public option passed it should force insurance companies to lower their premiums and deductibles to be able to compete as long as it's structured correctly. They've disappointed on the education front by giving funds to charter schools (including for profit one's). Many democratic governors are starting to see the error of their ways now and reversing course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Related: “Biden’s convention featured at least six individuals who have praised, promoted, defended, or appeared with the most notorious anti-Semite in America, Louis Farrakhan. Farrakhan has called Hitler ‘a very great man’ and referred to Jews as ‘termites.’ What did Biden say about these individuals appearing at his convention? Nothing. He was totally silent.” EVERY WEEK IS HATE WEEK FOR THE LEFT. Edited August 24, 2020 by B-Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cost of healthcare has only gone down if you don't include the Trillion per year added through expanded Medicaid. As for education why do you think charter schools are so popular in democratic areas but not as much in Republican? Because Dems allow terrible schools to exist. Doc you seem reasonable but where do you live that Republican areas have worst areas than Dem areas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
