Kamalacare is just Bidencare

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

68% : When Obamacare became law in 2010, Biden was vice president.
64% : The best case for Biden's management of health care entitlements is that as of 2024, Medicare's Board of Trustees expects its Part A Hospital Insurance trust fund -- an accounting gimmick that allows Medicare to draw on certain tax revenue -- to be depleted in 2036, five years later than the trustees reported in 2023.
59% : Along with Social Security, the projected growth of spending on health care entitlements is the largest driver of long-term debt.
57% : But the core of his campaign's answer was the invocation of the Affordable Care Act, more commonly known as Obamacare.
54% : So it was hardly surprising that in the years after the expansion was implemented, the percentage of households enrolling in coverage via Obamacare and claiming incomes in that range grew rapidly.
53% : Annual spending on Medicare alone already runs over $1 trillion.
52% : The vast majority of these plans, according to the Congressional Budget Office, offered "comprehensive coverage" -- and although they "may exclude some benefits" required under Obamacare, "they sometimes offer wider provider networks or lower deductibles than are available through other types of nongroup and small-group coverage."
51% : Obamacare remained the law of the land.
51% : Contained inside that bill was $34 billion to boost subsidies for Obamacare.
49% : Asked whether he would veto Medicare for All legislation should it come to his desk as president, Biden responded carefully, saying: "I would veto anything that delays providing the security and the certainty of health care being available now."
49% : In the same report, the trustees issued their seventh consecutive "funding warning" for Medicare.
47% : When Harris campaigned for the Democratic presidential nomination in early 2019, she initially proposed a plan along those lines and gave interviews backing the elimination of current private health insurance arrangements.
47% : Bidencare is best understood as Obamacare, but more expensive and worse.
46% : Where Trump had responded by deregulating cheaper plans, Biden responded by boosting subsidies for six-figure earners.
42% : Medicare for All, Biden said, would cost too much and would deprive people of health plans that work right now.
42% : Obamacare's subsidies for individual coverage are costly by any definition, but they pale in contrast with the great cost of America's two legacy health care programs, Medicare and Medicaid.
41% : It wasn't quite a promise to veto Medicare for All, period.
41% : "Biden wasn't wrong: At a scored cost of nearly $1 trillion over the first decade, with a vast array of subsidies and regulations and programs and subprograms, Obamacare was arguably the single most consequential piece of domestic policy legislation passed over the last 50 years.
38% : Obamacare had become an entrenched part of the American health care firmament.
37% : On the contrary, Biden has made American health care more expensive and more unwieldy.
37% : Although he promised to replace Obamacare with something better, he struggled to articulate what that something might be.
36% : "Practically and politically, Medicare for All was never really on the table, not even in a potential Sanders administration.
34% : In the name of upholding the promise of Obamacare, Biden had made the market for health insurance worse.
33% : Trump was no one's idea of a health policy wonk, to put it mildly.
33% : In the meantime, he has pursued small bureaucratic tweaks that make it harder and harder for Americans to escape Obamacare's imposing regulatory costs.
29% : When Biden campaigned for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2019 and 2020, he also faced questions about single-payer, sometimes called Medicare for All.
21% : Biden's chief antagonist in the race was Sanders, and arguably the most prominent policy dispute between them was over Medicare for All.
8% : In her first major speech on economic policy, Harris promised to "take on the issue of the cost of health care," and attacked Trump for wanting to repeal Obamacare, and for having no plan to expand health care access.
