So have the r’s come up with a better plan? The Affordable Care Act has its problems because the r’s required changes that destroyed a lot of what the ACA was meant to do. It was passed in 2010. What have the r’s come up with since? Universal Health Care like every other western country (and a lot of other countries) have is the BEST solution. But since it benefits regular people and would put the for profit insurance companies out of business, the r’s will NEVER agree. The US has the most EXPENSIVE health care but has the worst outcomes because of the health insurance industry.
Things are ‘improving’ on this front:
“In 2021, 8.3 percent of people, or 27.2 million, did not have health insurance at any point during the year, representing a decrease in the uninsured rate and number of uninsured from 2020 (8.6 percent or 28.3 million).” – US Census
“8.4% or 27.6 million Americans of all ages did not have health insurance in 2022” – CDC
Thank you for taking such good care of your “children,” Norm. I’m sorry the rest of America’s poor are not so fortunate.

I like to think that Norm’s strips tilted the 2008 election toward Obama (and the ACA) two months later.
Don’t blame Norm for that catastrophe. We’re still paying for that nonsense.

The ACA my ass. Unaffordable health care.
Irony is I have insurance but can’t afford the co pay
Now Cooper just has to pay the taxes on the $20,000 winning.
Less than the $20,000 he needed to pay the hospital
