Republicans must be too busy trying to distract us with other things to try and cancel Obamacare lately. Or maybe they’ve finally realized most people like it.

At any rate, this is another great idea from Governor Gretchen Whitmer. All states should do it. Probably only the Democratic-run ones will. #VoteBlue

@TonyStark obamacare is so terrible i'm surprised they don't try to take credit for it
yes i support obama, yes it's ... slightly better than nothing... but trust me, from experience, the marketplace insurance plans are awful places that will just refuse all your claims unless you fight them.

@hapbt @TonyStark first, it got stripped down from the original plan. Secondly it varies widely from state to state. They shouldn’t have let the states have input.

@CatDragon @hapbt @TonyStark You can thank Joe Lieberman for not having a better plan. Lieberman, the sore loser who was mad that he got primaried by Ned Lamont so ran as an independent because he knew Republicans would support him to make sure a real Democrat wouldn't be their senator. Lieberman wouldn't support any plan that had a public option, so the ACA was the absolute best plan we could have.

@MariaHill @CatDragon @hapbt @TonyStark Yep. Lieberman has a lot of blood on his hands, from people who died because they couldn't afford healthcare.
