    I don't tweet, either, but that doesn't answer my question. But then, you rarely do, especially when I ask you to prove one of your hyperbolic declarations.

    It failed because it never mandated costs (which republicans faught), but more importantly, it failed because Rubio and Boehner defunded the risk corridors, which in turn increased premiums. The reason premiums were where they were for true "obamacare plans" is solely on republicans. The devil is in the details.

    It was forced to fail by republicans.

    Obama never mentioned that when he was pushing for it.

    I wonder why he didn't bother to tell us it was going to fail.

    Do you know why?

    How is the covid 19 deaths Trumps fault? By your logic all H1N1 deaths was Obama's fault.

    Stupidest thing I have ever read. The virus came from China and Trump closed borders with less than 5 cases in America.

    I smell b's in that post.

    Oh I see, "Affordable care" was one of those Democrats' 1984 things, it meant skyrocketing costs and no realistic access to healthcare... just like the Dems' "Heroes Act" was geared for loser democrat governors and mayors who bankrupted their lands...

    got it.

    They won't blame a single death on Biden or any H1N1 death on Obama even though it took Obama to declare H1N1 an emergency.

    They just hate Trump so they blame him for everything. Liberals, lefties and Democrats only care about themselves. Democrats get a free pass for just about everything but a Republican gets attacked for everything. Double Standard BS.

    He absolutely did mention that Spooky. The repubs told him that was dead on arrival if it was in there. The would only agree to "cost ratios" for services, but refused to have limits in any way that would limit their control over premiums.

    He never said nor thought it would fail? It was working, and things were getting better. Thats just a fact. Switch to Rubio and Boehner and McConnell killing it thru a backdooring the funding for Insurance companies and yahtzee. Read up on what the risk corridors were, and why it caused it to fail. It was genius by Rubio and Boehner to do what they did because it was so hard to understand, that it gave them almost complete cover.

    Really? Well imagine that.

    It was a reference to Trump's "leadership." Surely you're aware of this.

    The figures speak for themselves.

    The US has one of the worst track records in the world.

    And the voters have made their judgment.

    Dude, that's what I've been telling you all along, Obamacare was a DOA monstrosity sold to the country based solely on Obama's lies, its failure to live up to its "affordable" and health "care" objectives was nothing short of spectacular. Finally you seem to be getting it.

    Trump played down the virus and lied to the people, just like China did their people

    Biden did not win. He cheated. Big difference there.

    Not whining. Just pointing out the usual emptiness of your posts.

    Your current score on backing up your hyperbole: 1 in 6.

    FFS, what lies ?

    HE delivered it as advertised, and the republicans destroyed it after it was implemented ? It WAS lowering costs until the right defunded the risk corridors. HOW is that Obamas fault ?

    1. Obama's administration did at least have a plan, and many more would have died from that flu had they nothing. The end result is that they put those lessons learned into an updated pandemic playboy (the Bush administration had developed one on 2005), which Trump chose to ignore.

    2. Trump did not close borders. He stopped flights from China, but allowed about 40,000 Americans to return home from China in spite of the travel ban. He waited weeks before halting flights from the rest of the world, and even then he didn't include the UK. Therefore, all anyone who still wanted to come here had to do was fly to Heathrow first, from just about anywhere, including China.

    it was called Affordable Care Act - two first words were a lie. you're coming up with excuses and finger pointing on why Obamacare turned out to be neither affordable nor it provided realistic access to health care, it doesn't change the fact that it was neither, that Obama lied and sold the country a hundred billion dollar lemon.

    Please stop that. Biden didn't have to cheat. When will it sink into your head that you are not in the majority and your hero lost the election fair and square? We the people had had enough of his incompetence, his nastiness, his cheating at everything. And then some.

    You can't prove that Biden or anyone else cheated to the point of stealing this election. FFS, man, even Trump's own Homeland Security cyber division couldn't find anything amiss. Dozens of lawyers couldn't find fraud. But if you know more than all of them, do please share your facts. Notice I'm asking for actual facts, not "alternative facts."

    He saved millions according to data that said millions could die. He never called it a hoax, that is fake news. He called the democrat reaction a box. He took action weeks before any democrats, and its dem areas that are hit the hardest. This death is on dem leaders.

    Incorrect, the cult is in woke progressives. I’m simply pointing out the truth, he spent less while outperforming Obama. You don’t have to like this truth, but true it is.
    Speaking of cult, remember the left claiming Trump cull used with Russia despite the lack of any evidence? I do lol
