  1. From the [Semafor Principals](https://www.semafor.com/newsletter/12/09/2024/power-vacuum?utm_campaign=semaforreddit) newsletter:

    It’s no surprise Republicans aren’t exactly rushing to repeal Obamacare.

    Fifty-four percent of US adults approve of the Affordable Care Act, according to Gallup, including record highs of Democrats and Republicans.

    And 62% of US adults say the federal government has the responsibility to ensure all Americans have health care coverage, a figure that has been steadily rising in recent years after reaching a low point during the bungled Obamacare rollout.

    The public is divided on whether a government-run health care system or a private system is better, but the share of Republicans who favor a government-run system — 21% — is the highest on record.

  2. Doesn’t this happen every time the GOP gets ready to try to kill it?

  3. Should just do medicare for all. Raise the medicare tax from 1.4% to 3.5% to cover the cost. You can still get private insurance to provide with more perks like they do in other countries.

  4. “Man states he’s willing to save marriage after divorce”

  5. I only wish those Trumpers on ACA lost their insurance for the sale of FAFO. THOUGHTS AND PREMIUMS

  6. What about the Affordable Care Act [ACA]. What do the common folks think about that?

    /s

  7. Leopards eating peoples faces on the rise, FAFO finds

  8. Approval of healthcare, the economy and many other top agenda items seems to have soared as soon as the election ended. Too bad more people voted for the party who wants to destroy these things

  9. Well no kidding. When you’re about to take away something that’s beneficial, it’s popularity will rise. If only the voters had been paying attention to what Trump was telling us he planned to do.

  10. The head of HHS, which oversees Medicare, earns $264,000 a year.

    The CEO of United Heatlhcare earns $10,000,000 a year.

    Where is DOGE on this one?

  11. Dumb fucks, why did you vote for Trump or sit out then? This shit is infuriating 😂 This country loves progressive policies but refuses to consistently vote for the more progressive candidate. Make it make sense.

  12. MAGA is finding out that “Obamacare”and the ACA are one and the same.
    And many of them got that “good deal”by means of it.

  13. Ask them about Obamacare and they’ll use every invective they know to disparage it.

    Ask them about the Affordable Care Act and they’ll sing its praises and tell you it’s the only reason they have healthcare coverage.

  14. Trumps gonna adjust it, fuck it up, lose the pre-existing conditions, make it more expensive and rename it TrumpCare.

  15. Can everyone just stop calling it Obamacare forever and for all time? Just call it ACA in every article, post, and real life conversation.

    Putting the Obama label on it is purposeful to get dumb people to turn against it. Yes, they’ll suffer, but so will normal people so it’s not worth the gloating rights.

  16. Don’t worry guys. They have concepts of a plan to replace it.

  17. and these idiots just voted trump and the GOP in to repeal it. Congrats guys. you played yourself. have fun with the leopards.

  18. Trump is the only Political candidate in my lifetime that People vote for while hoping he doesn’t deliver on any of his promises.

  19. It’s always more popular when its removal is threatened.

  20. If the Affordable Care Act would just be canceled, Obamacare could really take off!!!

  21. Because as shitty as medical insurance is, it used to be even worse before the aca.

  22. did MAGA learn how to read and finally realize that Obamacare is the ACA

  23. GOP solution for healthcare: You shouldn’t have to pay for others healthcare nor should anyone have to pay for yours. So, if you get sick and can’t afford healthcare, please stay home and die. Thanks!

  24. The ones who would probably benefit the most from it voted for the clown show. Good luck.

  25. Stupid idiots.

    Edit: Sorry I meant the people who voted against it.

  26. If it’s an article about Obamacare, why do they show us the Orange Menace? Get his image out of here! Down looking at that danger-clown.

  27. MMW He’ll tweak some inconsequential details, rebrand it and reintroduce it as a new plan. Nothing will actually change but he’ll take credit for its success and bask his beautiful orange body /s in the warmth of Obama’s achievements.
