  1. Funny how they tend to vote against their own interests.

  2. Can they just stop calling it Obamacare already??? How about we start calling Medicare “Johnsoncare”.

  5. “As a democracy, our system is set up so that the elected officials ‘should’ promote policies that benefit their voters.”

    That’s a *really* big if.

  7. imagine is people got universal healthcare, how happy they’d be.

  8. Mike Johnson should totally try to repeal ACA so he can carry Paul Ryan’s torch. It will do wonders for Republicans’ reelection prospects.

    /s

  9. Are they going to replace ObamaCare with TrumpDoesn’tCare?

  10. We’re in an oligarchy now. In case you missed it, Leon spent over 250 million dollars. Your vote means nothing.
    The Heritage Foundation won since 1980 when Ronnie Raygun was elected.

  12. I remember all the republican complaints about the ACA and thought at the time ‘just wait until people experience it in practice – they’ll never get rid of it.’

  14. Trying to understand why these folks do the illogical shit that they do makes my brain hurt.

  15. Lmao but they just voted for the party who wants to axe it. Morons.

  16. Republican voter rationale: I like my face but I want the leopards to protect it for me.

  19. **Still only 19%.**

    All these years and all the people it has helped, and still only 19% of Republicans support Obamacare.

  20. Wheres all the Republicans coming in to defend trump? They’re on almost every post except where the leopards eat their faces. Wonder why that is.

  21. So there haven’t been death panels? Just like no one took their guns when Obama was elected? Maybe Republicans should start asking themselves why democratic ideas are better in the longterm.

  23. I think they are finally learning that ACA isn’t the white’s version of Obamacare. They are the same thing. The Republicans aren’t just taking “Obamacare” away from Black people. They’re taking away your healthcare too.

  27. In the immortal words of 80s hair metal band Cinderella, “Don’t know what ya got, till it’s gone”

  29. Yet somehow, support for the Affordable Care Act is even higher.

  30. It’s almost like they all realized that the ACA is Obamacare or something.

  31. Someone run a poll where you ask republicans

    Are you in favor of ObamaCare?

    Are you in favor of the Affordable Care Act?

    Let’s see THOSE numbers

  33. Same monsters who screamed it would be the end of medicine as we know it in US, and who rallied to vote out so many Democrats who voted for a sensible and important bill in Congress!
    Shame on GOP for their sad, shallow partisan hack behavior! 🤷‍♂️💩🤡

  34. Honestly, as great is the ACA is for SOME folks. People like me that work in small business and don’t get healthcare provided by my employer, still can’t really afford the premiums realistically. The lowest price (and worst option) I can get for just my own personal self starts at $450 a month. That’s over half my rent and nearly twice my car payment.

    Universal Healthcare is the solution to all of this.

  35. Welp now that they support it they nothing and insurance companies will get to deny more people when pre-existing conditions is no longer a law. Nothing like being fucked over by idiots rooting for the wrong team.

  36. But let’s cut Obama care because fuck that guy but keep the ACA! /s

  37. A not insignificant number of them are only recently finding out that Obamacare = ACA

    It’s amazing how the polls of republican voters show overwhelming disapproval of Obamacare, with moderate net approval of the ACA. The amount of Republicans who I have personally told that they’re the same thing is staggering.

    We’re doomed.

  38. This remind me of my MAGA neighbors on Nextdoor.

    “We don’t need Obamacare! It’s socialism! I already have insurance through the ACA!”

  39. Well, let’s see some pushback on the incoming administration that they have elected that want to end so much of what we as a Nation need.

  40. Yeah but they vote for politicians who want to get rid of the ACA and replace it with concepts of a plan. 🤷

  41. Shit like this is so infuriating. My parents will bitch and moan about programs that help people because they came from democrats, but when my brother was finally able to move out on his own for the first time at age 31 a lot of it was due in part to government programs that help with housing affordability and the ACA. Fox “News” brainwash should be criminal.

  42. I want to know who the Dems are running in 2028 so I can start campaigning *now* I want what the Dems would have done next to every fail of republicans for the next four years. Every. Single. One.

  43. When the MAGA voters lose their healthcare in next couple of years, I really hope it serves as a massive wakeup call to them about voting against their own interests. But I expect many of them will keep defending the Republicans, even while struggling with medical bankruptcy.

  45. Just in time for the GOP to do its best to take it away from them.

  46. “I’ll bring us through this. As always. I’ll carry you – kicking and screaming – and in the end you’ll thank me.” – Democrats to Republicans.

  47. It’s amazing what happens when these people who only listen to right wing propganda, find out the truth.

    It’s also hard to believe that a lot of these people are just finding out the ACA and Obamacare are the same thing.
