Pritzker comes out against this Dem cave-in

This is not a deal — it's an empty promise.

Trump and his Republican Congress are making healthcare more expensive for the middle class and ending it for working families.

Time for Democrats to stand tall for affordable healthcare. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

Dem Senators are too scared to withhold a vote?

Fucking PATHETIC.

And Pritzker can stand down the damn ISP at Broadview if he's interested in doing something.

We know who our friends are - it's the people standing up for us.

The corporate dems selling out may be funded by the insurance companies - I am going to do some research on this.

9. This DOES get rid of ACA

Well, OK, if you can afford to pay the for-profit insurance prices that are far more than any other country faces, then I guess you still get protection from pre-existing conditions. But that will surely be the next thing to go.Trump will try to do that with administrative rules rather than legislation.

What part of ACA do you think remains after this?
