The last time the GOP tried to mess with Obamacare, they got a drubbing at the midterms. Let’s make sure that happens again this time around.

It’s despicable that the U.S. is the only developed country that doesn’t have Universal Healthcare - and it’s solely because of Republicans! Republicans work for the wealthy & well connected, not for we the people . . . This country needs to wake up & stop 🛑 voting for Republicans!

It's been a decade, and medical costs (even for the insured) have skyrocketed. Obamacare has been revealed to be a band-aid for the problem it was meant to solve. It needs actual fixing, but no one in power wants to fix it (because they get tons of lobby money from HMO and Big Pharma.)

Barack Obama & @BarackObama Since we passed the Affordable Care Act, Republicans have tried over and over to repeal it. And over and over, they've failed — in part because millions of people now depend on the ACA for quality, affordable health care. Now Republicans are trying something different: quietly weakening the law and hoping you won't notice. We can't let them.
