Props to Obama

It took his leadership and political risk to put people first. Millions of us have benefited by the ACA. As Joe said that day, it was a pretty big fucking deal.

Thanks Obama!

I am forever grateful to President Obama. His compassion has saved me thousands and allowed me to get excellent insurance for the first time in years.

I believe that tRump's real motivation is to destroy everything Obama did. We are learning about all those things as the news reports reversals and cancellations.

Thanks Obama - as true patriot.

I think we lost some white male support as a result of how the bill was perceived, but that wasn't necessarily foreseeable and doesn't begin to offset the tremendous benefit.
