Affordable Healthcare...

...So upon waking up to the news on Tuesday, I heard an interview on NPR with Zeke Emanuel, one of the architects of the Affordable Healthcare Act, on the future of the aforementioned which is now being referred to mostly by its name, but that for the past 8 years has been called Obama Care...  The interview was mostly propaganda with the takeaway being that Zeke was calling for the Dems and Republicans to work together to modify it; and I quote:


EMANUEL: Right, but consistency suggests that they want a - they would want a bipartisan bill. And I understand that the president-elect, Donald Trump, wants a bipartisan bill. He really does I think genuinely want a bill and a health care system that works for all Americans, that achieves universal coverage, no preexisting disease exclusions. And I think therefore there is some ray of optimism that we could actually get a compromise bill rather than just something rammed down the country's throat by the Republicans.


That's rich, since the act was passed in the first place by a majority Democratic Congress ramming it down the minority Republican throat! 

I love politics: verify and never trust.
