No, we don’t have universal healthcare because of JOE FUCKING LIEBERMAN.
Who was a democrat. And a convenient SPOILER. There’s always a democrat spoiler when legislation goes even the slightest bit left.
Learn your history and learn why America is fucking fed up with the democrats and their bullshit. Too many broken empty promises. They can blame republicans all they want, and the uneducated who don’t know any better drink it up hook line and sinker. It was JOE FUCKING LIEBERMAN THE SPOILER.
What are you talking about my dude Trump literally gutted Title X, Medicaid and ACA/Obamacare which is literally closest thing we had to universal healthcare. We need to take some lessons from California there.
Joe Lieberman stopped the single payer option which would of made Obamacare universal healthcare instead of the health insurance company handout clusterfuck it is.
That may be true but vetoing something new and killing ACA are completely different things. Biden wanted to expand on the ACA instead because it would have been able to cover 97% of Americans. So it's not like Biden was against universal healthcare. On the other hand Republicans are well on their way to kill any hope of universal healthcare and social security. At least with Biden/Harris we would have had one or the other. My mother was saved by Obamacare because she couldn't get health care with her preexisting conditions.
And obamacare/ACA is still here. Trump didn’t get rid of it. Nobody is going to get rid of it just like nobody is gonna get rid of the migrant workers. It’s all hot air and always has been.
