    He had a decent paying job, plus a side gig, actually. Hard working guy.

    Personal choice/gamble. I'm not that old yet, I'll just ride it out until medicare kicks in. Sometimes, that's not very wise.

    I don't claim to have all the answers on it, but would like to see a better safety net in place. Preferably one that does not involve D.C. taking over the system completely as government can't seem to do much of anything very efficiently.
    You think private companies are going to gift you a safety net?

    Good to hear you're going to ride it out until you fall into the D.C. government safety net of Medicare.

    And his best friend, Chris Wallace, won't hold his feet to the fire. Trump had to do the moderator's job.

    Wallace should be canned from Fox, tbqh.
    Well, I'd say it's not the moderator's job to pile on. But you're right that it's a double standard. Wallace had no problem pressing Trump.

    They could just reduce the court to 7 and remove the last two who joined most recently.
    That's not happening, snowflake.

    Theres no reason Biden should have to definitively answer a question on court packing right now. He doesn’t know if the Democrats even win the senate
    Sure, don't answer. Give Repubs red meat in their Senate races. Solid strategy

    They're not going under 9. Dems want to add, not subtract.

    They want to do what FDR couldn't do.

    Disagree. I think there are anti-abortion Democrats that don't want the court packed. They're not talked about, but there are Dems who don't give a sh** about Obamacare. They had their costs go up / lose their plan just like anyone else.

    Organically, not legislatively. Glad Miss Ginsburg decided to get out of the way for America.

    Republicans have been irredeemable since 2003, so that makes sense.

    HC typically became more affordable than the ACA if you just find a better job. I know people who's premiums went from $350 per month to $1000 per month buying from that Obamacare site. Pretty much forced them to...GET A BETTER JOB
    And why should healthcare be tied to employment?

    I get why affording a car payment, or a house payment, or a better cell phone, or a new Luka Dončić jersey should be tied to affording it with a good job. But why health care?

    Why should a guy with asthma have to throw himself into the corporate rat race to quite literally just survive? Not “afford new clothes” or “buy dijon mus ” or “buy hair gel”. Just be able to exist on this planet. Why? Explain that.

    And the thing is, none of those are really tied to having a job. You don't need to go through your employer to get a car loan, but with our re ed healthcare system the only way you can get quality and affordable healthcare is through your employer. People shouldn't need to weigh healthcare when deciding a career path/employer. Because of our system people turn down opportunities to work for start-up businesses and help them grow because said businesses can't offer the same healthcare they get as a cog in the wheel at Fortune 500 company.

    This is why Republicans claiming to be for small business is bull . One of the biggest things that hampers small businesses in America is the fact that they need to provide health insurance to their employees in order to attract talent, and it's a lot more expensive for a company with 100 employees to provide healthcare than it is a company with 100k employees. Employer-based healthcare makes it a lot harder for small businesses to exist (and that was the case before Obamacare).

    We also have a lot of people who only work because they're waiting until they're eligible for Medicare. If people in their late 50s and early 60s who were ready to retire but just need medicare could retire right now, it would open up a lot of jobs for people in their 20s and 30s.

    There's a reason Republicans are fighting so ridiculously hard to keep Murica away from single payer. If it ever came to be everyone would realize how much they were getting ed by private healthcare.

    If it makes you feel better, I agree that the employment tie is the pivotal part of the scam.
    Careful though, you're breaking with your fellow chumpettes on this.

    "anti-abortion Democrats"

    I guess Joe Biden might lose some votes in Mississippi and Alabama

    You really think that issue breaks down that strongly along state lines?

    (FDR's court packing scheme failed, but his programs had better luck in the Supreme Court after that,.)

    Oh, I didn't realize you were begging for a spoon feeding.

    You sound like Hillary. It's what you do.
