Summary
A Gallup poll shows 62% of Americans believe the government should ensure universal healthcare coverage—the highest support in over a decade.
While Democratic backing remains strong at 90%, support among Republicans and Independents has also grown since 2020.
Public frustration with the for-profit healthcare system has intensified following the arrest of a suspect in the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, reportedly motivated by anger at the industry.
Recent controversies, including Anthem’s rollback of anesthesia coverage cuts, and debates over Medicare privatization highlight ongoing dissatisfaction with the system.
To pass a bill it has to go through both houses. If you don’t have a majority, you can’t get it through. Also there was more than 1 drug, just most of the public only cared about Insulin.
Here are a few more that Trump will take credit for https://www.pbs.org/newshour/health/heres-a-list-of-drugs-affected-by-bidens-latest-medicare-price-cuts
It doesn’t take a majority of votes to talk about it. Democrats won’t even mention it.
There have been over 70 attempts by Republicans to repeal the American Care Act, and every fiscal budget they propose includes cutting it. Do I wish they would be dedicating more time to helping the population understand how it could work and how it would help, yes. But after the first 50 votes… I think the Democrats gave up on the idea of proposing any expansions of the ACA to encompass more of what it was originally meant to be, and tried to focus on work arounds so they could pick away at little things that may actually get approved.
If you can’t convince the population of Florida that sea life, oranges, tomatoes, or any crops at all are important to them while they vote to increase drilling… You clearly aren’t getting them to listen. Every “pro life” vote for Trump was promoting the death of many of the kids offsprings.
We need someone to be more proactively bringing the fight directly at them, but it’s likely over now. Not much hope for change anymore
Note: “talk about it” is included in all of those votes which clearly blocked any ability to repeal it. So at least 70 times now the democrats have succeeded in protecting what little they made, and it isn’t enough
The ACA is not medicare for all. It isn’t close to medicare for all. It was never more than a shitty stand in for universal healthcare.
I was there when it was written. Don’t try to feed me this bullshit
