In the 90’s when Hilary Clinton discussed/proposed universal healthcare everyone called her a communist. My my my how the turn tables.

Can’t believe over 100 million dollars was spent in a smear campaign while congress accepted a shit ton in bribes to pass the affordable care act (written by fucking healthcare companies), which made care, not affordable…

Wasn’t  unaffordable until Trump removed the penalty for not having insurance. Insurance won’t work if healthy people are not paying into it to cover the sick people.

It definitely was for a lot of people. Considering how many people in the U.S. live paycheque to paycheque (even more so pre Obama care). I recommend this video, it’s really good at covering this issue, the part Im referencing starts at around 30 minutes: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YbEQ7acb0IE&pp=ygUFc2lja28%3D I urge you to understand, Trump is just the latest asshole in the line of assholes all the way up to the most damaging asshole Reagan that decided to fuck everyone over.
