Republicans all over the country are lying about protecting pre-existing conditions. And Tuesday night Rachel Maddow nailed them for it. The way that Republicans have been campaigning on saving pre-existing conditions protections has been driving me insane. They are flat-out lying. They have spent years voting to repeal Obamacare. One of the most popular parts […]

Donald Trump is driven by his pathological jealousy and hatred of Barack Obama. More than anything he wants to destroy Obama’s legacy. But Trump is going to fail. I keep reading that Donald Trump is destroying Barack Obama’s legacy. But it’s not really true. Trump has been rolling back some of the Obama-era rules and […]

Republican Senator Orrin Hatch says that Obamacare is “the stupidest, dumbass bill” he has ever seen. And he says fans of Obamacare are “the stupidest, dumbass people” he has ever met.

Voters in Maine overwhelmingly called for the expansion of Medicaid in their state Tuesday night. Now their Republican Governor says that he will ignore the will of the voters unless the state legislature comes up with a way to fully fund it.

“I thought everybody else knew what the hell they were talking about, but apparently not.” Now that the Republicans’ latest attempt to repeal Obamacare is dead, at least one of them is finally ready to confess.

Trump and the Republicans are lying about Obamacare being dead. As of Thursday, there will be at least one Obamacare insurer in every county in the U.S. Obamacare never was a perfect law.

If you were wondering whether or not Obama would weigh in on the Republicans’ new Senate healthcare bill, wonder no more. He did. And he had a LOT to say. On Thursday, Senate Republicans finally released their new healthcare bill. Now we can understand why the bill has been such a big secret. It’s horrible. […]
