   Make no mistake. Trump wants to TERMINATE healthcare for millions by gutting the Affordable Care Act.

     The ACA allowed me to to leave a job that held me hostage due to health insurance. I still don't understand why any "employee" wants thier boss to have control over their lives like that.

     And only because it's the crowning achievement of the Obama administration, which could have better but GOP and even significant public sentiment were against the ACA.

     I know a lot of people bitch about how it's not perfect, and that's the point--it's imperfect and should be improved as these things go through legislation cycles and the general public trends towards progress. But these same whiners "I want something perfect, not good" seem to forget when preexisting conditions were NOT covered by insurance companies or they charged a lot more.

     With COVID, millions more Americans now have preexisting conditions.

     @georgetakei Well, at least we know Trump will reveal his alternative plan in two weeks.

     Always two weeks.

     @georgetakei Old enough to remember when he said he was going to replace it with “something fantastic.”
