JD Vance Awfully Quiet After Report on How His Mom Got Health Care

Vance’s mother was able to buy private insurance through the Affordable Care Act’s insurance marketplace, run by Ohio, after overcoming substance abuse, becoming financially stable, and earning too much to stay on Medicaid.

The interesting thing is that I'm not sure anybody gives a shit that his mom got help through the ACA. The story here is that he can't show any level of gratitude for the thing that has helped his own mother because he's such a partisan piece of shit. The ACA sucks, but healthcare in this country was a complete dumpster fire before it passed, and it will return to being a complete dumpster fire if it's repealed without a more expansive replacement in place.
This wouldn't be a story if Medicaid didn't have means testing attached which is how she lost eligibility. This wouldn't be a story if JD would show thanks for the healthcare plan modeled after what a Republican governor put together, but that would be perceived as disloyalty to his toddler-brained master. This wouldn't be a story if there were universal healthcare as there should be. He's between a rock and a hard place because he's too spineless to swallow his pride and show humanity even regarding the health of his own mom. Fucking pathetic.
- ACA only sucked cause Republicans blocked every attempt to address the faults and issues that only became apparent after rolling it out.
She bought healthcare from Obama? 😮

We all know under Trumps concepts of a plan she would get super extra special care. In other words she would be dumped on skid row and bankrupt.

I'll be damned if my tax dollars are going to fly her to LA under that plan.
- Skid row ^generic.

it's ridiculous how much we jerk off to being the greatest country in the world ever but we can't even have this basic quality of life feature that so many other countries have made work. fucking israel has universal healthcare! what a pathetic empire

As someone who grew up outside the US, I can tell you that every developed country in the world casts itself as the greatest country on earth. Now, all of those countries, except the US, have most of the basics down, so there's that.
- I have lived in 5 countries and the USA is the only one that claims this we're the greatest bullshit all the time.
  Every country loves itself, but the USA is psychotic about it
- every developed country in the world casts itself as the greatest country on earth
  Not Germany.
  For once.
  And for the time being.
It's also ridiculous how much we jerk off to being the greatest country in the world but a man cannot admit to making sweet love to a couch.
- That... was oddly specific - and hillarious.
Hey, thats all the more reason for us not to have it.
We're America, god damnit. American Exceptionalism demands we pave a different path. A rugged path. Like the men of the wild west! We cant use the same idea everyone else has, thats just filthy socio-communism!

  A path directly toward the cliff edge and then straight off of it into the ravine below!

  You're kidding, but the arguments I have heard against better healthcare in this country boil down to pretty much this.
