Obama accomplished next to nothing of note in his 8 years. ACA, while a start, largely doesn't change anything about how the healthcare industry operates. He accomplished nothing with regards to our failing infrastructure. The alphabet agencies sure loved him though.
So far with Biden, we were promised an additional $2000 stimulus check...oh actually it's just $1400...oh actually, we're not so sure now. What did he do instead? Marched the military right back into Syria on his first day in office.
So yes, this is a "both sides" thing.

- MyHypatia 6y agoACA significantly impacted my life and the lives of others around me. My friends in medical school were able to purchase health insurance to cover the 2 months between graduation and starting residency. Graduating from school doesn't make you eligible for COBRA. The ones with pre-existing conditions would not have been able to obtain meaningful health insurance for that gap period otherwise. I'm grateful that the ACA made meaningful steps to solving that problem. I still want us to do better. But the accomplishment of the ACA has been the difference between having health insurance and worrying about catastrophic medical debt because of an 8 week in-between period when you're unattached to a large institution.
- jlokier 6y agoYou know Biden doesn't have the power to issue $2000 stimulus checks, right?
- jlokier 6y ago> ACA ... largely doesn't change anything about how the healthcare The ACA utterly and profoundly changed healthcare for some 20 million people. Maybe you're not one of those people. But it's really hard to see how it can be called "largely doesn't change anything".
