#Trump supported the #Republican #Congress’s effort to roll back most of Obamacare, including undoing some of the regulations for #PreexistingConditions & making major #cuts to #Medicaid. It failed because of #JohnMcCain.
Trump dramatically cut funding for #enrollment outreach. He tried to introduce Medicaid work requirements for people covered by the #ACA’s expansion (but was stopped by the courts).
One of #JDVance’s more remarkable #lies of the night was this: #Trump saved #Obamacare.
He said the #law “was crushing under the weight of its own regulatory burden in health care costs” before TFG took office in 2017 & started loosening some of its rules.
“I think he can make a good argument that it salvaged Obamacare, which was doing disastrously until Donald Trump came along,” #Vance said.
Vance didn’t engage in bomb-throwing; he wasn’t an attack dog or an edgelord. He assured viewers that he felt their pain and that their pain was all Kamala Harris’s fault. (He solved the problem of how to hold Harris responsible for Biden’s record by simply rebranding the Biden-Harris administration as the “Kamala Harris administration,” pretending she was in charge of everything all along.)
So, on points, #JDVance may have won by a nose. But he did so in a way that is unlikely to matter very much, if at all, for the presidential contest. In general, vice presidential debates very rarely impact the polls. And this particular debate lacked any breakout moment likely to dominate headlines for days in what’s become a very crowded October news environment (Middle East escalation, Hurricane Helene, the port strike).
#Trump deregulated short-term #insurance plans that left people vulnerable to thousands of dollars in #bills if they had a serious #medical emergency.
In 2016, when Trump was elected, the #ACA marketplaces covered 12.7 million people. In 2020, when he lost the election to Joe #Biden, they covered 11.4M. After 4 years of Biden, 21.4M Americans are getting their insurance through HealthCare.gov or one of its state counterparts.
This fucking bullshut about forcing #CatholicHospitals to perform #abortions? THEY ARE PRIVATELY OWNED!!! #Catholic Hospitals — ANY #RELIGIOUS BUSINESS — is not publicly funded!!! Not subject to federally funded institution regulations!!!!

#crypto bros love to talk about how they're beating the SEC in the courts. the reality is actually exactly the opposite; out of some 200 cases the bros have beaten the SEC in one (#bitcoin ETFs, unfortunately, where the court forced the SEC to accept the fraudulent data the #CFTC had accepted before it was known to be fraudulent) and "won" half of another one (#Ripple / #XRP), where the part they lost resulted in one of the largest fines in SEC history.
today they lost two more big cases. they will keep losing unless (as they hope) they can bribe congress into changing the laws, which is why crypto is the industry responsible for half of all donations to the 2024 election.

The #NewYorkTimes editorial board has #endorsed #KamalaHarris for president. In an editorial published Monday, the editorial board called #Trump #unfit for office & declared the VP the “only patriotic choice for president.” While the editorial board was harshly critical of Trump, it also suggested #Harris should offer more policy details [🙄] in her campaign & take part in more media interviews [🙄🙄].
[she has done both, which the NYT has barely covered]

I don't think the people at NYT see their coverage as favorable to Trump or hostile to Harris; they think of it as "honest".

#KamalaHarris also appeared to take a swipe at #Trump & his running mate #JDVance who've floated #Ukraine ceding territory to #Russia as part of negotiations to end the #war.
"However, in candor, I share with you Mr. President, there are some in my country who would, instead, force Ukraine to give up large parts of its #sovereign territory, who would demand that Ukraine accept neutrality & would require Ukraine to forego #security relationships w/other nations," #Harris said.
"We also know that other would-be aggressors around the world are watching to see what happens in #Ukraine," #Harris said. "If #Putin is allowed to win, they will become emboldened, & history reminds us, & history is so clear in reminding us, the #UnitedStates cannot & should not isolate ourselves from the rest of the world. Isolation is not insulation."

"If we allow aggressors like Putin to take land w/impunity, they keep going & Putin could set his sights on #Poland, the #Baltic states & other #NATO allies”
"These proposals are the same of those of #Putin. And let us be clear, they are not proposals for #peace. Instead, they are proposals for #surrender, which is dangerous & unacceptable," MVP #KamalaHarris said.

As the #AntiAbortion movement grows increasingly frustrated w/ #Trump, they are turning to his No. 2, Sen #JDVance, for help.
Trump’s criticism of 6-week #AbortionBans, his support for #IVF (w/a #weird promise to make IVF coverage free), & his public stance that #abortion is now a settled issue left to the states have made some anti-abortion advocates urge their followers not to vote for the #GOP ticket.

Harris shows some gains and economic views brighten a bit — CBS News poll
"The 2024 presidential race clearly remains a contest ...
But with interest rates and gas prices coming down, the number of voters saying the economy is good has ticked up. That, along with a debate voters say was net positive for her, has helped Harris a bit. "
Stay positive ... keep fighting!!
