DT has had 4 years of total control of the govt to to better and had nothing As well. GOP has had decades to develop something and nothing B-Man, I think you're right about Obamacare being intended as a bridge to some kind of true national health care. But TH3, you're right about the Republicans. "Concepts of a plan" still haven't ever been communicated; fair to say that's because even the concept (much less the plan) never existed. 1
The Frankish Reich Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago I opposed Obamacare at the time because it seemed like an unworkable idea. The killing (by Republicans, of a Republican-style idea) of the mandate sealed its fate. It is failing, and that's why huge subsidies are needed. The adverse selection problem the mandate was supposed to address is real. 1

The adverse selection problem the mandate was supposed to address is real. Stefanik was just on CNN discussing a bipartisan plan that would temporarily continue subsidies while targeting fraud and abuse. speaker Johnson is holding up a vote and she's frustrated. Is she truly on the correct side of an issue? Seems like it. As an aside, I've been seeing ads promoting pbm's (pharmacy benefit managers) recently. This bill targets them.
