The Citizens Policy Foundation and the majority of Americans believe that healthcare is a right, not a privilege, and our healthcare system must put people before profits. Thanks to the hard work of Vice President Joe Biden and Democrats in Congress, they took a critically important step toward the goal of universal healthcare by passing the Affordable Care Act, which has covered 29 million more Americans and ensured millions more will never be denied coverage because of a pre-existing condition. The CPF along with Democrats will never falter in our generations-long fight to guarantee healthcare as a fundamental right for every American.
For more than a decade, Republicans have sought to destroy the signature achievement of the Obama administration – the Affordable Care Act.
Exactly one week after election day, they might succeed. After an election season like no other, in the middle of a pandemic, the supreme court will hear a case that could result in 20 million Americans losing their insurance, along with a raft of other insurance benefits disappearing from American life. Or not.
The Citizens Policy Foundation believes that we all have a part to play in promoting universal healthcare for all Americans. Being stronger together means finally achieving that goal. We are going to fight to make sure every American has access to quality, affordable healthcare. We will tackle the problems that remain in our healthcare system, including cracking down on runaway prescription drug prices and addressing mental health with the same seriousness that we treat physical health.
You can contribute to this important membership segment of the Citizens Policy Foundation by joining the Health Care Team (HCT) on our Facebook page. Our aim is to provide training in research, education and action, by providing internet forums to communicate information about national, regional, and local activities as well as opportunities set policy, communicates that policy, and actively hear from and interact with elected leaders.
Thanks for the venue.
My experience with the ACA, who is unique. I was spending most nights sleeping in the back of my vehicle. After two months of this, I realized I had a unique opportunity to buy a house. The nature of getting a loan requires me to have an address. So I spent a few nights a week at a family members house. I work five jobs, two full-time, and three part time. I couldn’t afford insurance, but I was still forced to pay the fine. The ACA meant that I had to spend extra money, and one of the most challenging . In my life. The dynamic between the Republicans and the Democrats as such, that the abolishment of the ACA is a foregone conclusion. This adversarial dynamic makes little progress very difficult. This brings me to one of my concerns. With the right knowledge about noon bio chemistry, I would be able to address all of my medical concerns with the garden. I understand it that isn’t always illegal. What if we empower the people? What if we make the vagaries of the legal system more accessible? What if we propagandize self-education?
