#23andMe bankruptcy underscores why none of us can have nice things, like #privacy. Your family member who fell for this long con also exposed you! Data brokers are already dealing with insurance companies on your genetic risk profiles, now Americans with a family health history are tainted and soon uninsurable. #Obamacare soon to be replaced with "palliative care gardens" across the street from the hospital with lovely benches to die on.

The #ACA / #Obamacare is a popular but not overwhelmingly popular system (60% popularity). It left a lot of the problems with the #private, #forprofit #US #medical system intact and is vulnerable to #farright attacks.

Only 8% of #Democrats oppose #MedicareForAll, yet no Dem politicians pursue it. Ask why.

Reminder: This was the #RonaldReagan #Healthcare Plan made by the #Heritage Foundation who would then make #Project2025!

#Politics

#SCOTUS said it will review the constitutionality of a provision of the #AffordableCareAct that requires #health plans to provide no-cost #PreventiveCare, including #cancer screenings, #immunizations & #contraception, to millions.

The case puts the #law, commonly known as #Obamacare, in the crosshairs once again & follows several challenges in recent years by conservatives hoping to overturn it, as well as a landmark 2012 ruling by the justices upholding its legality.

2/3 - form a cost sharing network in a non-sectarian form as some #Christian organizations seem to have successfully done for numerous years now?

There are a large number of them out there, there are legitimate concerns about #scams, but it seems at least Medi-Share and Samaritan Ministries have been successfully and legitimately providing services for years.

I know the #Obamacare exemption for cost sharing is based on a religious exemption, but this should be possible even for

I'm listening to a rebroadcast of the #StephanieMillerShow right after #Harris became the nominee. There was excitement and she was "leading in 4 of the 7 swing states."

Three months later, this country flips to reelect a Nazi-quoting #ConvictedFelon & #AdjudicatedRapist who promised to be a #DictatorOnDayOne running on the SAME failed promises of 8 years ago: "Border Wall", Mass Deportations, Repeal/Replace #ObamaCare, and promising to appoint a #TeamOfIncompetant sycophants that he saw on TV.

@Waitnwallflower @noondlyt
When he ran in 2015/16, he declared he knew "#TheBestPeople" and would assemble a "Team of Experts" to solve every problem. And every problem was "SO easy" to fix, he'd solve them all on #DayOne.

That "team" lasted about 6 weeks before so many left it was disbanded. And he never replaced #ObamaCare with something better/cheaper, Mexico never agreed to pay for his Wall™ (see: #tariffs), and #Hillary was never prosecuted for mishandling #ClassifiedDocs.

THIS time… 👇

@maddad
I'M COMPLETELY DUMBFOUNDED.

He was an ASTOUNDING FAILURE in his first term. Exploded the #Debt & #Deficit BEFORE #Covid, didn't save a single company he promised to save during his 2016 campaign, didn't bring back coal, come up with a cheaper/better replacement for #ObamaCare, and dismissed a deadly #pandemic that ended up destroying the #SupplyChain and spiking #inflation.

And gets re-elected over the #economy HE destroyed & #Biden is fixing. 😒
