Healthcare is a social right, not a privilege to be rationed by corporate insurers and canceled by government fiat. The fight against the assault on social programs cannot be separated from the fight against the capitalist profit system.

    I’m sure that you’ll be waiving the coverage mandates attached to the taxes for all those you dumped too

    Are you talking about the ACA mandate that Americans have to carry health insurance, and there would be a monetary penalty if an individual didn’t (aka “the Individual Mandate”)? That mandate was set to a $0 penalty in 7 years ago 2019. Or are you talking about something else?

      Hadn’t recalled it being changed, but given his hate of the ACA and anything related to Obama I’m sure he’ll find some way to punish people for either staying on it or being thrown off.

        You’re not wrong. In 2021, trump and GOP tried to say since the Individual Mandate was made $0 that the entire ACA needed to be thrown out. The Supreme Court of that day told trump to pound sand, so the ACA survived another GOP challenge.
