In reply to the discussion: Is it insulting Bernie when we require him to fight for ACA instead of pushing progressive dreams ? [View all]Demsrule86
(68,735 posts)4. Are you serious...you think saving the ACA ...the only healthcare millions
have is a Democratic quest only? Medicaid goes down, pre-existing comes back, kids kicked off of insurance...no well care and poor people start dying...only Medicaid goes too so more die...this is a repeal bill. And ask yourself this. What Democratic numbers in Congress will it take to ever have any sort of healthcare again? It could be years...this is about saving lives and not giving up our one shot at universal coverage because if the ACA goes, I don't think we will ever get it...millions of lives are stake. That should be important to all progressives regardless of whom they support.

But still a replacement bull was offered which in my opinion makes it more likely the GOP will
