Which is a very important thing to amplify. Healthcare in the US is full of gotchas and small exceptions that can be absolutely devastating if you fall through the cracks. But Obamacare's mandate of coverage for pre-existing conditions was a huge step forward.
- ZeroGravitas 2y agoThe current Republican Presidential Candidate did claim he was going to repeal Obamacare as late as January this year, so maybe don't count on it continuing to be the case.
- cdaringe 2y agoStrategy: propose renaming it to his name. Let him tweak it insignificantly. Let him claim it’s the biggest improvement in healthcare EVER, then BING BING, continued coverage and damage mitigated? CAPS for emulating his character. I dunno—could be worth a shot! Healthcare in employment gap is fresh on my mind :)
- Alupis 2y ago> Let him tweak it insignificantly. Yes, because everyone is happy with the current system, so let's do something to make sure it lasts forever! Politics and naming aside - the current system is awful and expensive, and did nothing to address the root causes. You don't fix that by enshrining the broken system as some sort of anti-Trump thing. Even if you hate the guy, he's still right - the system is broken and getting worse with every new strip of duct tape.
