Republicans have had over a decade to "fix" the ACA and the best they've proposed is nuke it with nothing to replace.
GOP is not a serious party, they are arsonists.

Also, democrats had had since 1973 to codify roe v wade but they never did.
The democrats are also not a serious party. They are grifters.
And that's why we are in this mess.
Democrats have proposed:
- Freedom of Choice Act
- Women's Health Protection Act
- Reproductive Freedom for Women Act
- Ensuring Access to Abortion Act
- Freedom to Travel for Health Care Act
(And likely more I'm forgetting)
All related to codifying Roe / protecting women's choice, and all failing to pass into law due to Republican resistance. Politely fuck off with that nonsense.
Freedom of Choice Act: Joe Manchin (D) voted against, nullifying the tie breaker effect that the VP (D) would've had.
Reproductive Freedom for Women Act: Bill was introduced too late, killed on Jan 3rd 2025 as it still hadn't reached the senate floor by presidential turnover. Certainly feels like it was on purpose. It's not like senators don't know how long bills take to pass.
Women's Health Protection Act: Joe Manchin (D) voted against, nullifying the tie breaker effect that the VP (D) would've had.
Ensuring Access to Abortion Act: Never passed the 60 vote threshold.
Freedom to Travel for Health Care: Never passed the 60 vote threshold.
You got more? Keep them coming. I can keep showing you how Democrats torpedo their own bills and then blame the Republicans to keep the status quo and keep fundraising off of us.
Yeah for the last two there, the filibuster is the culprit. But Democrats also had the opportunity to get rid of it with Biden and didn't. So then you deal with it, keep bringing the bill on the floor till you get cloture.
But at least they don't try to set everything on fire. Still the better option. But still not great.
Sounds like you're blaming the party on one-two D votes for the bills failing, while ignoring the entire arsonist party that enabled those singular votes to break them.
Edit - again, never even a proposal from republicans to correct or build on the ACA, just wholesale destruction, like everything the party does.
Look I'm not saying the Republicans are good. Not in the slightest. They suck. And worse than Democrats.
