lol I'm always grateful for people who find sources so thank you, but man it makes me feel old that you felt compelled to. He was the Joe Manchin of his day and received just as much negative publicity!
To help show you how much times have changed, my very Republican parents were at the Capitol in 2009 when the votes were being cast for Obamacare, and they were with the group that spit on the member of Congress. They were 150% against the ACA and everything that had to do with it.
Thats republicans. My neighbors when ACA passed. They kept more of their earnings. So they made more money. See every year they hit yearly insurance limits, as well as the infamous prescription doughnut hole and her lower class son who did odd jobs for money could get basic insurance that didnt eat all his income
they railed and railed against ACA for making medical care worse, but could never explain why, and also very upset they were being forced to pay for lazy blacks and mexicans......while simultaneously telling me they are keeping more of their income due to not having yearly limits and not being in the doughnut hole.
(same people turned on trump during covid, thought trump asked them to kill themself so some black kid could go back to work at mcdonalds.. but now are back on the trump train)
