One thing I'm decidedly not excited for is to see how the DHHS plans to prove the President right about the ACA. I'm not confident they'll be acting in the interest of the American public over the course of the next few years.

After 6 years of GOP obstruction being portrayed as "both sides do it," this week ought to have clarified which party has shat the bed.

About it in a nutshell. I guess we'll know more when the tax bill rolls out. If Trump pulls out the trickle-down schtick, I don't know if he'll be able to pivot to a populist tone. The other problem is that he becomes what Ventura became in Minnesota: an executive with no allies. People cooperated with Ventura in the short term, but both sides were cheering for him to fail which made long-term coalitions impossible to forge.

Trump actually has just the right skillset — strong on marketing, branding, & cajoling — to boost ACA signups and “fix” Obamacare.
wondered this earlier --- if it has crossed Trumps mind that if to him his place in history is meaningful , he needs Nancy Pelosi.

As the Republican-led state legislature has slashed funding to reproductive healthcare clinics, the maternal mortality rate doubled over just a two-year period
https://amp.theguardian.com/us-news/...linics-funding
The rate of Texas women who died from complications related to pregnancy doubled from 2010 to 2014, a new study has found, for an estimated maternal mortality rate that is unmatched in any other state and the rest of the developed world.

GOP moderates must vote for:
Gutting preexisting conditions
$800 billion Medicaid cuts
Likely doomed in Senate

you yourself have said some form on national health care is here to stay. No putting the horse back in the barn.
Yet, I have yet to see you or your (L) friends put forward reforms.
Out of curiosity you have a seat at the table. Sturg33 and Sen Sanders etc
To strike a bargain with Sen Sanders , what would you say.
What is your offer?

and that is why you get no say at the table.
Nor attention at national debates or little to no fundraising and your candidates are left to run on niche issues
Been a long time since we brought out the phrase Social Darwinism.
I offered and you pissed on the offer

oh, let me add this since sturg for all intent and purposes took himself out of the Health Care debate.
https://mobile.nytimes.com/2017/04/0....co/IOsvEeiTXK
There is a reason that many conservatives want to do away with these provisions. Because they help people with substantial health care needs buy relatively affordable coverage, they drive up the price of insurance for people who are healthy. An insurance market that did not include cancer care — or even any cancer patients — would be one where premiums for the remaining customers were much lower. The result might be a market that is much more affordable for people with a clean bill of health. But it would become largely inaccessible to anyone who really needs help paying for medical care.

I love that wanting less government running our health care is "taking myself out of the debate"
you admit yourself that ship has sailed.
Kinda like arguing for land line phones or analog TV
