41. I am in despair because the ACA has been ruined and will not function for the poor anymore.

Mon Nov 10, 2025, 09:20 AM

Monday

Dems turned their backs on the poor and agreed to cut their healthcare in exchange for flights for Thanksgiving. Boo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Senate Repugs already had a vote on this and they all voted to gut it - they will do exactly the same if they even allow a vote which I doubt because they don't want to take the heat for cutting off healthcare for hundreds of thousands folks. R's are nothing but liars and I have deep disdain for all the 8 who sold out for a total lie - and they know it!
