Probably the only part of Obamacare worth anything was its expansion of Medicaid.
Medicaid expansion saves lives, and saves people from financial ruin.

There's always been a class disparity in America by how much justice can a person afford, but it is reaching Dickensian levels.
On one side you have the merciless treatment of the poor.



A few more thoughts on left and right
(cobbled together partly from responses to JtC)
After Jeremy Corbyn's failed to defeat both the Tories, and the neoliberals within the U.K. Labour party at the same time, Keir Starmer took over. Without missing a beat, the Tories demanded that Labour purge its leftists, and Starmer obliged.

Since the news media in the U.S. pretends that the rest of the world either doesn't exist, or doesn't matter, political movements in this country rarely consider anything beyond our borders. It's easy to think that the rest of the world feels the same about whatever is going on in the U.S.
The reality is that most people in other nations are more tuned in to what is happening on this planet than the typical American. That's a good thing.
