Obamacare is not affordable. Obamacare has never worked. The reality is: Obamacare was ALWAYS designed to create Single-Payer, Government-Run Healthcare. For the past 8 DAYS, Democrats have held our government hostage with a shutdown to subsidize this failed healthcare program.

What’s wrong with universal healthcare care?? We sent Israel billions that you voted for and they have universal fucking healthcare!!!!!!! THESE PEOPLE ARE ISRAEL FIRST!!!

This is just one district in your home State's stats. for how much healthcare will cost without the ACA subsidies. Do you think Floridians already struggling with astronomical HO insurance can afford this?

Where the fuck is the Republican plan? You bitched and moaned for 15 fucking years and still have no pla of your own so please just shut the fuck up already!

We've been waiting for Donald Trump's bigger and better alternative to Obamacare since 2015. And since 2015, he's been telling us, "in two weeks" he'll have a plan. So, until the next two weeks brings us a better healthcare plan, Obamacare is what we have. And millions of people rely on those subsidies in order to afford healthcare. Your plan is to give them nothing.

Obamacare is based on Romneycare. It’s a republican plan. Since it passed, republicans have tried to repeal and weaken it 70 times over 15 years, and only produced 1 non-viable replacement option. In 15 years. You removed the individual mandate, slashed navigator funding by 85%, advertising funding by 90%, halted cost-sharing reduction payments, sabotaged its risk corridor program, repealed year-round enrollment for those below the poverty line, made the Medicaid expansion optional for states, and imposed work requirements on Medicaid enrollees. All of these actions significantly decreased the enrollee pool and significantly increased premiums. You’re talking about taking healthcare away from people and telling us it’s someone else’s fault

And guess what... Recent polling indicates that a majority of Americans, approximately two-thirds, have a favorable view of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), often called Obamacare. Obamacare is even more popular than the last time Trump tried to kill it - POLITICO

WHY have you NOT provided an alternative? Why has NO Republican offered an alternative? WHY is Donald Trump too much a failed leader to get beyond “concepts of a plan” and MUCH TOO WEAK AND IMPOTENT to keep the government open?

You have no alternative Byron, you have nothing to offer

Actually, Obamacare is very popular and effective. And it’s funny that Republicans have had almost 10 years now to come up with their own fixes or replacements to it and have not done a single thing. Republican complain and whining about stuff, but they actually can’t govern.

And where is trumps wonderful health care plan that yall promise almost 10 yrs ago. Still doesnt exist does it?

What's the plan to replace the ACA? Are Republicans working on a healthcare plan that the Grifter in Chief and his family can profit from like his new drug plan?

Byron is FOS...

Well we’ve waited 10 fucking years to see Mr Trump’s promised health plan 😂

Remember Joe Wilson telling Obama "you lie" when Obama was talking to a joint session of Congress (Sept 2009) about what would become Obamacare? Turns out Joe was right.

Hey Byron, did you know that giving tax breaks to the top 1 percent is significantly more expensive than 22 million Americans having heathcare.

Byron! Stop lying! You know full well if the ACA subsidies are not extended, people's premiums will more than double! Stop the lies! Stop gaslighting!

In the meantime Trump promised a healthcare plan to replace it. It was always 2 weeks away. You are so pathetic.

Byron, as usual you clearly have no idea what you’re talking about. First, all healthcare is subsidized, not just the Affordable Care Act. Employer-sponsored insurance is subsidized through tax breaks, Medicare and Medicaid are government-funded, and veterans’ care, CHIP, and rural hospital programs are all subsidized. The ACA simply extended that same help to working families who don’t get coverage through their jobs, so they aren’t bankrupted by medical bills. And no, the ACA is not government-run healthcare, and it was never designed to be single-payer. In a single-payer system, like in Canada or the U.K., the government pays all medical bills directly. That’s not what Obamacare does. The ACA relies on private insurance companies, private doctors, and private hospitals. It simply sets consumer protections and offers subsidies so people can afford private coverage. If anything, the ACA preserved the private insurance system Republicans claim to support. Second, Obamacare has worked. It brought the uninsured rate to the lowest level in U.S. history, protected people with preexisting conditions, and capped out-of-pocket costs. Premium increases slowed dramatically after years of private insurance gouging. The “affordable” in the Affordable Care Act isn’t just a slogan, it’s the reason millions of Americans can finally afford coverage that used to be out of reach. And lastly, this is not a Democrat shutdown, it’s a Republican shutdown. Republicans are refusing to pass a clean continuing resolution that keeps the government open without cutting healthcare, WIC, SNAP, veterans’ benefits, and pay for federal workers. They could end the shutdown today without a single Democratic vote, but they won’t, because they’d rather hurt ordinary Americans to score political points. So before you talk about who’s “holding the government hostage,” maybe look at the party that locked the doors.

@brentdgifford Obamacare is absolutely not affordable. Millions have lost coverage entirely due to the cost. Taxpaying families who can’t afford coverage. Insurance is out of control and there is no transparency in the system.

Keeping the ACA tax credits for another year would cost just about the same as Trump is sending to Argentina. I thought you were America first. Guess not.

And your solution is to give us nothing at all. The Republican plan that was supposed to roll out 6 years ago still does not exist. GTFO out of here with that shitty take. I’ll take ACA any day over your NOTHING at all but die scenario.

It’s been bad since 2010. The destruction Obama did to this country is immeasurable.

My life was saved by 'Obamacare' when I got cancer, thousands of American lives have been saved since the ACA passed, but you don't give a shit--you appear to care even less about your own people, you selfish twat!

Exactly! It really has worked as designed.

@1fedupmamaB There were a lot of us raising Cain about it 15 years ago. We knew. It was obvious. But people wouldn't listen. Dem pols wanted control and ignorant people thought they'd get free shit.

A family member was fined $70,000 for not having Obamacare for 3 yrs even though they were able to pay their own medical expenses while ILLEGAL ALIENS were getting Obamacare FREE THIS IS WRONG!! Every American fined for not having Obamacare should be reimbursed a full REFUND!

I have never met anyone who likes Obamacare. It was a disaster from the jump.

What's wrong with single payer government run Healthcare? It seems to be very successful in the rest of the world.

Y'all been sabotaging it since Obama left office, genius. Bet that ass full of splinters from sitting on that yt supremacist bench, eh.😬

Oh, look, the incompetent clowns that promised better healthcare 10 years ago, still have no plan and Americans to be without healthcare. Healthcare’s a basic need, yet these lazy hacks would rather play political games than do their damn jobs.

Obamacare truly ruined the healthcare system. I know I’ve been doing this for over 20 years. Out-of-pocket max is now up to $13,600. So if you go to the hospital, the first $13,600 comes out of your pocket before anything is covered. Some plans give you a couple doctor visits. But that’s it. If you pay cash to the Dr, it’s a third or more cheaper than going through your insurance.

So your plan - let me know if I am getting this right - is to cause even more pain on top of an already 'failing' program so that Americans pay 2-3x their current monthly premiums??
