The Democrats giveth and the Repukes taketh away.

On late Friday night, a Federal judge in Texas ruled that the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare was now unconstitutional. Judge Reed O'Connor claimed in a 55-page statement that Drumpf's tax plan, which eliminated the insurance mandate for all Americans was what made it unconstitutional.

Meanwhile, the Democrats in the House and Senate are claiming that O'Connor's ruling will be appealed in the Supreme Court. But with it being skewered to the right now, it's almost safe to say that the ACA is as good as dead.

Of course, O'Connor now claims that ALL of the ACA is unconstitutional, meaning that if the modern Supreme Court agrees with him, this definitely means that insurance companies could bring back the pre-existing condition clause. Undoubtedly, this means that if you get sick, your insurance company will once again fuck you over while their CEOs rake in millions from your pocket.

In recent years, fewer people have gotten Obamacare because they get insurance from their employers. However, with Drumpf's tariff bullshit beginning to wreck havoc with the economy, will we the Americans have jobs next year when his tax cuts for the wealthy take effect?

Look, Obamacare is nice. Yes, it's helped to make insurance affordable for millions. Yes, it's given insurance companies a big slap on the wrist for literally killing people like Eric de la Cruz and others for profit. But sadly, it's not enough. WE NEED SINGLE PAYER UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE NOW!

The only way to achieve this, sadly, is if we give the Democrats a message. We need true progressives in our government, not those who will compromise with the Repukes. We cannot afford another 2016 again. If Hillary or another lame ducker runs, we're gonna get screwed even worse.

But until then, kiss your rights goodbye.
