Since we lost, I just expect them to get rid of the ACA anyway, but once again, elections have consequences.
Fuck all the people who were eligible to vote and didn’t vote for Kamala Harris and/or spent their time saying both parties are the same, that Harris wasn’t perfect enough for you, or that the economy made you do it.
You’re contributing to killing people, too.

Brought to us by the"pro-life" death cult: "Among the other no-cost coverage mandates that are put at risk by the 5th Circuit ruling are prenatal nutritional supplements, physical therapy for older Americans to prevent falls and lung cancer screenings that, according to the Biden administration, could save the lives of 10,000 to 20,000 Americans a year."

Yes. So many lost possibilities for everyone having a better life (and death -- I was a big fan of her care initiative that would have supported caregivers keeping their loved ones at home).

@CindyWeinstein My sister did that while my mom was near the end and it would have been nice to have her more fairly taken care of for doing it. I was really happy to see that initiative that would have made it easier for others to do so. 💔

@TonyStark @CindyWeinstein Pulling Biden out at virtually the last minute was equivalent to Lucy yanking the football away just as Charlie Brown is about to kick it. That was very disconcerting to voters, especially supporters of Biden. No wonder 19M who previously voted for Biden didn't show up. Never switch horses mid stream.

@TonyStark @CindyWeinstein They beat and beat on Biden, but demented Donald was ok. Harris was a great candidate and would have been a great president. But the jolt to the voters was, I believe, too much. Biden beat Trump before, and I would have beaten him again. Harris came very close, and considering how late she entered the race, extremely well. But the Democratic Party looking for the perfect was the enemy of the good. Republicans had no qualms about winning with a fried, demented old man.

Agree, except I think reality is darker than you imply. Leftists weren't naively seeking the perfect candidate, they were looking for excuses; they have absorbed bits of right-wing nutcase programming that they cannot admit aloud.
They really do feel uncomfortable with staking their hopes on rule of law, democracy and equality. They want to believe there's hidden magic in angry White men babbling stupidly, just like we see in contrived Hollywood scripts.

@todymotmot @jackcole @CindyWeinstein I agree with all of that, too.
I was a liberal before it was cool. Still one now. I don’t want anything to do with this movement that is predicated on harm first.
Every progressive change that has occurred in the last 20 years is going to be gone by the end of this one.
All people had to do was vote for HRC in 2016 or Harris now or have supported Biden instead of attacking him. Everyone who didn’t do that fucked up, for themselves and everyone.

Don't buy the GOP disinformation narrative that you're to blame for a pandemic or for getting cancer.

@TonyStark Yearly paid for mammograms can be the difference between finding something and being able to deal with it timely and a death sentence. Breast cancer is the most preventable cancer there is but without these screenings, many women die. As for men, the screenings you receive for prostate is your best defense to a serious cancer that has a high incidence of metastatic growth.
People let this get elected to their own demise and that of everyone around them.

Republicans like Senator Marshall are paid to lie about health care,
As if, his donors don't pollute water & air & cause cancer.
https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/roger-marshall-make-america-healthy-again-1235232716/
As if, working 3 jobs to pay student loans doesn't trigger chronic conditions like diabetes, stroke, and heart attacks.
As if, the GOP's tax cuts to the rich aren't stopping ACA preventive care like mammograms and blood testing.
As if, Republicans on Fox News didn't shill for antivaxxers and snake oil con artists.

@TonyStark "A variety of other no-cost preventive services – such as well-baby visits and autism screenings for children, cervical cancer screenings and breastfeeding support programs for women, and flu, measles and chickenpox vaccines – are not at issue in the case."
As if they'll stop until no one has any covered services.
