I find it infuriating & unforgivable that every single Republican member of Congress ran for office promising to repeal Obamacare & replace it w/something better, & here we are rolling into 2019 with the same problems: rising premiums, limited options, unsustainable spending. /1
At this point, spending the past few years as a self-employed person who doesn’t have the luxury of employer-provided insurance, & nowhere near rich enough that I can stop worrying about budgeting, our government expects me to pay an insane monthly premium for a lousy plan. /2
I’m honestly not differentiating anymore between the Democrats who voted for Obamacare and the Republicans who have refused to fix it. Neither of them care about the millions of Americans in my situation. They have all failed us. I am disappointed in every single one of them. /3
I see virtually no reason for hope that next year’s Congress will do anything to make it any better, or that whoever wins in 2020 will do anything either. Both parties have proven they lack solutions to rising health care costs for middle class Americans. /4
I’d love nothing more than to be proven wrong about this. But until then, every single member of Congress can go step on a Lego. 5/5
