@RebelGeek99 @davidaugust A key tell was that, behind the scenes, the Obama camp took the #PublicOption off the table from the get-go

"The critics who cry nationalization are not really arguing about economics. They are arguing about whether there is still a place in our political imagination for the idea that some spaces belong to everyone and cannot be allowed to become the exclusive property of whoever can extract the most profit from them."

So I like Avi's Public Option proposals. I like them alot actually. But I've seen some people point out the fed-prov responsibilities would likely interfer with that.
Do we just... Make a Healthcare Act + [x public option] transfers for public Grocers and Telecom? (Framework federally, adminstered provincally). Has he said somewhere on how he plans to make that happen yet? #NDP #CanPoli #canada #publicoption #avilewis

IN JUST 4 DAYS, the #ACA subsidies are set to expire and health #insurance premiums for tens of millions are about to skyrocket.
Shocker: The people expected to be hit the hardest by the ending of these subsidies live in Deep Red states.
REMINDER: Every method in the ACA to control prices… a #PublicOption & The #Mandate… were stripped out by #Republicans, who are ending the subsidies on the grounds "#ObamaCare has failed [to control costs.]"

@womenforward.us
I remind everyone that the two mechanisms in the #ACA to control costs… a #PublicOption & the #mandate… were stripped out by the #GOP, which now argues "#ObamaCare doesn't work and we need to get rid of it [rather than renew the subsidies.]" -

@samiamsam
THE IRONY IS that #Republicans REMOVED every mechanism designed to control costs under the #ACA... a #PublicOption & the #mandate... and now defend getting rid of "#ObamaCare" (with no replacement) on the grounds it is doing nothing to control costs. 🤦♂️ -

OH DEAR LORD. 🤦♂️
Guess who #FnS has on to discuss Healthcare Reform?
The #Republican Senator who was charged with #Medicare Fraud (which of course they didn't mention.)
Wanna reform the #ACA? Give us a #PublicOption.

@cbarbermd
#DementiaDon just advocated for a #PublicOption.I say, "Fine". In fact, name it after him and he's sure to sign it.
Tell him "TrumpCare will completely eliminate the need for #ObamaCare."

Here is T****'s Social Media post last Saturday angrily condemning insurance companies for the high cost of health care (b/c he thinks they are supporters of "ObamaCare".)
Fine. Pass a #PublicOption that gives consumers an alternative. Call it "#TrumpCare" if that's what it takes to get the #NarcissistinChief to sign it. Tell him it would totally "get rid of [the need for] ObamaCare." (I thought of using the word "eradicate", but Mr. #BestWords doesn't like big words.)
He'd sign that.

IF THE #BlueWave CONTINUES and #Democrats retake Congress (House & Senate) in 2026, they need to pass some strict new rules on the presidency:
1) No more pardons for people who committed crimes in Potus' name.
2) Establish once & for all that a Potus can't pardon themselves.
3) (sans 60 senators) Abolish the filibuster and pass a #PublicOption via a straight 51 vote majority (call it "TrumpCare". He endorsed cutting out the Insurance Co's in a tweet Saturday.)

"Cut out the insurance companies and let THE PEOPLE (ie: "We The People") purchase "a policy" outside the system?
