AHCA

It wouldโ€™ve been nice if the Democrats had subjected the also-terrible ACA to the same scrutiny that the Republican health care โ€œplanโ€ is receiving.

Yes, yes, the AHCA is worse. Far worse. But pretending as Dems now seem to that the ACA was some magical achievement that solved all our problems is very disingenuous and counter to reality.

Both are terrible, giveaways and handouts to the already rich, just the Republican plan is actively designed to be malicious and not to help people, while if Obamaโ€™s ACA incidentally helped anyone, that was ok, as long as the health insurance industry was protected and the right pockets got greased.
