Correct, and Trump did try to kill the ACA in 2017, partially succeeded in having parts gutted out by the SCOTUS, and is likely to succeed in fully killing it this go-round.

The only reason it didn't get killed last time is because John McCain voted against killing it. I don't see anyone republicans stand up for the ACA now but I guess we'll see

Still relevant. Current plans involve stuff like removing pretty much all social security, defunding research, potentially even banning vaccines (!)

It's a good reminder of how things were the first time around, as we anticipate similar results coming in the next administration.

This article is from 2017.

Its is likely knowable information if she is still a registered republican.

Blue MAGA needs their Two Minutes Hate. They're continuing their "you deserve everything you get" arc rather than doing any self-criticism about politics or its mechanisms or whether they shouldn't have gone all in on genocide.

Democrats fucked up in all sorts of ways including with regard to Gaza.

Anyone who voted Trump still deserves what they get.
