Affordable Health Care Act Success Stories~~ We decided to put our Trolls to use and use them to #Educate people about the #ACA. Our response to this Troll: Progressives fought against the mandate and for-profit healthcare altogether. Congressional Democrats fought for single payor or the public option rather than for-profit healthcare. As I am sure you will remember, it was the GOP/TEA Party who fought to include the mandate. Economist and Healthcare Attorney, Stephen Scapelliti, compiled this list of *SOME* of the Democrat efforts to repeal or modify the insurance mandates: politico/news/stories/0211/49031.html https://stlbeacon.org/… votesmart.org/…/senator-manchin-cosponsors-bill-to-r… theatlantic/…/will-republicans-save-…/281466/ abcnews.go/…/senate-democrats-take-aim-at-indiv…/ finance.yahoo/…/obamacare-individual-mandate-may… redalertpolitics/…/9-democrats-who-support-a-de…/ Blue Dog Dems like Former Senator Max Baucus (D-MT) dashed Progressive hopes for an end to for-profit insurance when they caved to GOP pressure for the mandate. But dont despair, Progressives! ALL is not lost. The #ACA as it is presently written, allows a backdoor means for states to implement of single payor on a state-by-state basis, beginning 2016. Vermont is one state which chose to implement single payor effective 2016. 2011/04/26 - Rachel Maddow msnbc/…/vermont-on-track-to-single-payer-hea… 2011/10/02 - Jessica Marcy, Kaiser Health: kaiserhealthnews.org/…/vermont-single-payer-health-…/ 2014, January - Thom Hartmann Who are the REAL Obamacare Hypocrites? https://youtube/watch?v=CuId1H3wI-Q
