Again: The ACA succeeded where "HillaryCare" failed in large part because the Obama Administration learned not to try and take on EVERY PART of the health insurance industry SIMULTANEOUSLY. This led to a law which is far from perfect but which still made major improvements. 1/
The ACA took on and won SOME battles, but not so many as to guarantee that it would go down in flames...and even then it BARELY squeaked by, and only in a watered-down way. If they had insisted on going after EVERY player at once, it would never have happened at all.
The insurance lobby had mixed feelings about the ACA. It stopped most (not all) of their ugliest practices, forced them to stop discriminating against "undesirable" enrollees, and put a cap on their profits. On the other hand, it also provided a flood of enrollees & subsidies.

📣 OK FOLKS, with Trump's latest whopper, time to dust off the #3LeggedStool one more time. Again, this is what the ACA's 3-legged stool looked like when it originally passed. The blue leg on the left = the Pre-Existing Condition protections (& other consumer protections): 1/
Unfortunately, as with any major piece of legislation impacting millions of people and billions of dollars, there were some legitimate problems with the original structure which have never been addressed due to political resistance. 5 major ones in my view are shown here. 2/
Basically, subsidies aren't robust enough and cut off too low on the income scale; high deductibles are still a big problem; the mandate penalty wasn't robust enough to be fully effective; and the minimum network requirement isn't strong enough. All of these COULD be fixed... 3/

Important thread which helps explain why many POC are NOT thrilled with the prospect of M4All. Strongly recommended...I knew most of this stuff but not all of it.
The larger point is that making ANY major change to our healthcare system has significant effects on EVERY other aspect of society, often in ways many people don’t ever think about...and not always for the better.
The very issues which makes our healthcare system such a mess also make it incredibly difficult to change...and I don’t just mean politically or economically. It’s like a 4-D game of Jenga.

Unless you've been hiding under a rock for the last three years, you recall that Barack Obama's FBI used Hillary Clinton's opposition research to generate a surveillance warrant against Donald Trump's presidential campaign.
Thus you'll no doubt be relieved to hear that an Obama-era FBI apologist and left-wing blogger has been tapped to oversee reform.

Looks like we're getting underway at the Alabama Democratic Party meeting. I'll try to keep all my tweets on the meeting in this thread. #alpolitics
Obligatory reminder about this bylaw fight from southern political expert Dr. Manhattan. #alpolitics
We start with Worley telling those with signs to lay them down, "or security will take them." Amid cries of "why," Worley says it's a security issue. "It's not a safety issue," someone yells. #alpolitics

THREAD: Mueller has evidence that Trump’s personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, secretly made a late-summer trip to #Prague during the 2016 campaign👉🏼confirms the #SteeleDossier‼️1/

#TrumpRussia
#MuellerIsComing

mcclatchydc.com/news/politics-…
Cohen has vehemently denied for months that he ever has been in Prague or “colluded w/#Russia🇷🇺” during the campaign.🙄

Neither he nor his lawyer would comment for this story.😎 2/
It’s “unclear” if Mueller also has evidence that Cohen met w/the #Russian🇷🇺—purportedly Putin pal Konstantin Kosachev—in Prague.😎

Kosachev, who denied visiting Prague in 2016, was hit w/#sanctions in retaliation for #Russia’s election interference.🤔 3/

today is the LAST DAY for cville to deny the permit for jason kessler’s proposed “unite the right II” aug 11-12. if they don’t deny today, the permit is granted. maybe the city needs a reminder what happened last time? let ‘em know how you feel.

medium.com/@solidaritycvi…
hey, while you're on the phone with the city, mention the state's report on updated recommendations for the permitting process. some damn good (and simple) ideas in there. encourage them to adopt some of these recommendations!

city hall now saying they have until monday to decide. perhaps "10 business days" begins the first full day after the application is submitted? i hope the city's legal team includes brighter minds than the ones who wouldn't prohibit weapons in august. keep4QZsO1FVou
