On Nov 10th, the Supreme Court hears the lawsuit to get rid of the ACA in its entirety. Even if Roberts votes to save the ACA and we get a 4-4 vote, it goes back to the lower court which ruled the ACA completely unconstitutional.

They will have to have a new hearing, but they will get rid of it. AND if you think they won't do the same to Medicare For All, you've been sleeping. I don't know what can save it.

When I was in high school I went to the Presidential Classroom for Young Americans on a scholarship. It's a much more expensive version of Close Up but with more access. They repeatedly told us look around, these are the future senators, judges, and leaders of America. Well, they were sure different.

About ten of us were on scholarship. We were pointed out at the first assembly, told to stand, you know how it is. No one would talk to us. They called us scuzzies. You get the idea.

They talked seriously of surplus population and how people needed to suffer the consequences of poor financial decisions, even if they died. Their questioning brought Sarah McClendon near tears.

They were overwhelmingly Republican. I'm glad it was only a week...and I learned a lot, met a lot of people in power (and Sarah McClendon) and all that, but my fellow students scared the shit out of me. They are the ones in power now.

Yeah the ACA is gone, I don't know how it can be saved at this point. Wait till people realize they've lost pre existing conditions. Personally I'm not looking forward to it. My migraines as a pre-existing condition has been well documented at this point.

The sheer lack of empathy for other human beings that these people exhibit is terrifying.

My Crohn's is a pre-existing condition and will kill me if I can't get coverage.

ACA and Roe v Wade will both be gone. And Im sure there are more nasty things to come

VRA. John Roberts was mentored by Rehnquist and he cut his teeth on fighting the VRA. He hates more than a Kluxer in Mississippi
