Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles. Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.
- No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
- No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have comments or posts removed, weaponize reports, or violate the code of conduct, will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.
That's all the rules!

MODERATORS
Yes forcing people to pay corporations to get Healthcare is conservative.
The only good part of ACA was forcing coverage of pre existing conditions. Rest just gift to insurance companies
Yes when you ignore the mandate forcing everyone to get insurance it looks better. Especially when ignoring the states that didn't go for the medicaid expansion simply to spite people.
Still the non moderate position in the rest of the world is universal Healthcare of makes sense why our center right parties refuse to actually go for it.
No this is why we need a progressive or leftist party in charge not dems or gop
Love that's the only part you seemed to read there
That is the enforcement, you get fined without it
It was originally a penalty and still is in certain states.

YeahI know. That is every interaction with you because you can't understand dems are right wing and moving faster to the right
Yes because the ACA is a right wing plan. The moderate position in the world is universal Healthcare.
Ffs they are still only doing please drug and insurance companies let our citizens pay a little less for the drug and research our government funded. See Bidens medicaid/Medicare price negotiations.
