Cornel West, Progressive Scholar, Announces Third-Party Bid for President

[exGOPer]

Obama passed medicare for all up to 138% of the poverty level.Let us know when Biden comes anywhere close to cutting the uninsured rate in half.

First, it's medicaid and not medicare.

Second, millions would still be uninsured even if the 12 states adopted medicaid eligbility.

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) allows states the option of expanding Medicaid coverage for people under age 65 to 138 percent of the federal poverty level (FPL) ($17,774 for an individual and $36,570 for a family of four in 2021).1 As of this writing, 12 states have neither expanded Medicaid nor passed ballot initiatives to expand Medicaid as allowed by the ACA. We project that there will be 14.6 million uninsured,2 of whom 5.8 million are below 100 percent of FPL in these 12 states in 2022.3

Funny how the rot started when he couldn't get tenure.

Obama dropped the rate from 20% to 10.The question is why is it still 10 When Biden had the white house and both houses of congress

Why did Obama leave out 10% (and it's not because of SC) if he had super majorities?

Biden had both houses of Congress? Are you dumb? Ever heard of Sinema and Manchin?

Virtually the same program and shows how desperate you are to defend Biden who hasn't come to getting healthcare for as many people as Obama has.

Why has Biden left virtually everyone out?

I heard of Sinema and Manchin,I also heard of Blanche Lincoln,Mark Pryor,Mary Landrieu ,Joe Lieberminn and Ben Nelson.

Unlike Biden Obama didn't let conservative Dems stop him from getting millions of people healthcare.

You claimed that everyone would have had insurance if not for the Supreme Court.

I proved you wrong, 8 million would still be uninsured.

Obama couldn't get them insurance when he had 58 Senators but you want Biden to do something about it with 49 Senators with two of them being Manchin and Sinema.

This level of disingenuous bullshit I only heard from MAGA snakes.

So Obama had to get 60 Senators to agree while Biden only had 50,got it,

Obama dropped public option because of Lieberman, I educated you already about that.

If Obama couldn't pass public option with 58 senators, you want Biden to pass the same with 49 of them?


The example most often cited of a single member blocking the priorities of all other Democrats is former Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut, who refused to vote for passage of the Affordable Care Act if it included a public option to compete with private insurance companies (some of which were headquartered in his home state). But even that isn’t really comparable, since White House and congressional aides at the time note that several other Democratic senators also objected; one count shortly before the public option was removed showed as few as 52 votes for it, one former aide told me.

Seems you know nothing about how ACA passed, out of 58, Obama got only 52 and one of the Senators objecting was Manchin
