(15,512 posts)all passed by Democrats. This is from the 2016 Dem platform:
ENSURE THE HEALTH AND
SAFETY OF ALL AMERICANS
Democrats have been fighting to secure universal health care for the American people for generations, and
we are proud to be the party that passed Medicare, Medicaid, and the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Being
stronger together means finally achieving that goal. We are going to fight to make sure every American has
access to quality, affordable health care. We will tackle the problems that remain in our health care system,
including cracking down on runaway prescription drug prices and addressing mental health with the same
seriousness that we treat physical health. We will fight Republican efforts to roll back the clock on womens
health and reproductive rights, and stand up for Planned Parenthood. And we will tackle the epidemics of
substance abuse and gun violence, which each claim tens of thousands of lives every year. (pp. 30-31)

primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
