General Discussion

The ACA wasn't as good as what was proposed by Clinton. With subsidies eliminated, there are about 27 million uninsured today (about 10%). When ACA went into effect, it was 44 million (about 17%) -- that's progress. But how many have the bad plans in the exchange now?

The ADA is getting gutted by Trump and the dept of education. 504 and IEP severely under attack. Privatizing education will make it worse. I would not put it past the Sinister 6 to call extra services for people with disabilities discrimination against able bodied (especially able bodied whites).

FMLA -- Yes, there are strides there. But if the get SAVE through, there will be little reason to not take that away as married women will find it harder and harder to vote.

How much of the Biden Infrastructure Bill in blue states has actually been spent?

Yes, we passed legislation but we didn't protect it form the Sinister Six and the Project 2025 goon squad.

I hope that if we get the trifecta again we pass -- health care for all with a single payer system; judicial reform with making the supreme court the same number as appeals divisions; ethics laws with bite, especially for judges; overturn Citizens United; a living minimum wage tied to inflation; real tax reforms that make the rich and corporations pay their share; eliminate cap on social security; funding for public schools; the elimination of for profit prisons; (I could go on)
