When Trump was president, Republicans fought to repeal the health insurance program.
Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance claimed Tuesday night — in contradiction of history — that his running mate, former President Donald Trump, “salvaged Obamacare,” the health insurance program that Trump tried to kill.
During the vice presidential debate on CBS against Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Vance, a senator from Ohio, echoed Trump’s own recent revisionism. But the assertion also served to remind voters that Democrats ultimately won the yearslong political fight over expanding access to health insurance: The Republican ticket no longer wants to repeal the 2010 law.

Oh I had thought my state expanded Medicaid but during the pandemic I was rejected for having savings despite being on unemployment
It’s so frustrating when you get shafted for being financially responsible. I had a severe malignant melanoma removed and the Dr’s association refused to accept less than $200 per month payment after they saw I had an emergency fund in the bank.
At the time I was making $36k per year and my wife was in school, so negative income. $200 per month would have ruined our lives. So I told them they’d never see a penny and took the huge credit hit.
