    Perhaps the dems should ask themselves why mandatory purchasing of insurance was the pinnacle of their accomplishment in the last 40 years and attempt to examine that.

    But sure fully embracing racial taxonomy and spending as much time as possible classifying people based on skin-tone, facial features, phenotypes, skull shape and literally anything besides class might work too. What would I know, I’m not a PMC employed by the DNC.

      It was not. Getting health insurance for an additional 30 million Americans was.

      Nope. That is just some idiot media pundit nonsense. Not so be taken seriously.

        Health insurance is not healthcare, it doesn’t mandate care, and there is basically no relation what-so-ever between having health insurance and getting healthcare.

          This is 100% false.

          it doesn’t mandate care

          Because of Republican opposition. The one and only way to get that is for the GOP to lose elections repeatedly.
