The Dems Need To Push Back On The ACA Lies That The Repugs Spew....

[global1]

the sabotage that they have inflicted on ACA since its inception is causing the problems with it. They refuse to support it and thereby they are sandbagging it. Their attempts to repeal & replace with their continuing failures to accomplish that has created more confusion and problems with the insurers.

This needs to be explained by the Dems to the American People and they need to show how some tweaks to ACA can stabilize and continue ACA by making it work the way it was intended.

[SHRED]

1. The risk pool funding was established in order to stabilize...

...the insurance markets for the first few years.

Senator Rubio attached legislation to a bill that decimated this funding and thus destabilized the market. This is why some counties have one or no insurance carrier choices at all.

4. So Why Isn't That Shouted By Dems Every Time...

they are interviewed by the MSM?

The Dems need to speak up on this and the other attempts to scuttle ACA.

2. There are a lot of things the Dems should be doing, but aren't.

How does one contact the DNC and tell them what they should be doing? How does one find out what their current strategy is, and exactly what ops are currently active? There's no good contact info on the web site.

For one thing, we should be working voter suppression stuff hard. And now. This voter work should have begun a decade ago. But, I see no movement on the part of the Dems to deal with it. We need to fight on 2 fronts: Challenging the voter roll purges and ludicrous "illegal votes" narrative; and, getting more Dems registered - even in compliance with the Repubs' onerous rules - so we can get out the vote next time around.

6. Agreed - The Dems Need To Gather Enmasse And...

come up with a mission that they all can get behind - more than just being against Trump.

7. The Dems are never on message

they're all over the place. Talking points, sound bites matter with a dumb electorate.

Like slogans, people remember them. The Dems have serious communication problems and always have. I'd like to see a little more coordinated message and more discipline....I'll probably see a unicorn or pigs flying before this happens.

8. I do not understand WHY more Dems and insurers are not

coming forward and telling the truth about Obamacare.

My husband has been selling Obamacare here in Texas for over 5 years. His clients LOVE Obamacare. And all this lying crap about premiums going up, that is NOT the case here in Texas. My husband said "sure, in some cases a person's premium has doubled (gone from $50/month to $100/month for someone with pre-existing conditions) but that is for a person who WAS paying $1,000/month in the health risk pool."

We must find people with knowledge to go forth on the teevee and tell the truth about Obamacare. And this is Texas for gawd's sakes !!
