PLACE BLAME WHERE BLAME BELONGSCORRUPT-INCOMPETENT 😡TRUMP & THE GOP.

emiliarosev Republicans need to be called on the carpet—Speaker Pelosi needs to reinstate the ACA mandate, even if it’s 5 cents, to force senatemajldr to a vote! Let’s see what these rats will do next!

Will there be a better and “constitutional” one to replace? People depend on the ACA that has saved many lives. America needs healthy politics by leaders who make decisions with consideration of emotional intelligence. Leadership style guided by personal feelings is a poor choice

OMG!

This is why they pushed to get Kav in the SCOTUS.. Then gave the nod to their federal judge so kav can ACA... They had a plan.......

The Affordable Care Act was a means for all to seek healthcare. People would have died without it. Republicans don't have the same worries as the less fortunate. Humanity How dare this judge take such action. What evilness! evil HealthCareForAll ACA accountability

Absolutely disgusting

Pontifex conservatives are cruel and repulsive, conservatives just took Obamacare away from people, conservatism, communism, socialism are a corrupt ideology

It is wonderful whether u agree with the judge’s decision or not, that policy decisions r now openly discussed, that there is the rule of law & Congress & POTUS will play a role. No name calling is needed. JasonPoblete marcorubio MaryAnastasiaOG Jeff_Jacoby JudyWoodruff

Pathetic.

Dear Texas: We as Americans have already covered this very thing several times. Perhaps y'all were out snipe huntin'... Let it go humanity won.

Here we go.

Maybe it's time to remove Texas judges from their benches. Permanently.

After so many people had life saving healthcare.

A Texas Court, probably in SenTedCruz’s pocket, will take healthcare away from millions without any other options. I use it too but no subsidy. Happy new year to those of us who won’t have healthcare next year. Thanks GOP and realDonaldTrump for possibly killing me next year!

The republicans represent in each role and position the strong and ultra retrograde, conservative and morally sick members of American Society. The Texas Federal Judge decision is the contempt from of the Republicans representatives to working class of American Population

Texas has almost 1 million children uninsured. Way to go.

Good. My ins premiums have increased double digit percentages every years since its passage. Up 11% for 2019.

I was Reed's FIRST legal assistant when he came to work at the NDTX US Attorney's office. He is such a good person. I guess I trained him up right!!!

This CDN is appreciative of our universal health care. It’s not perfect but it’s pretty darn good. I broke ribs 5 wks ago. Emergency visit, X-rays, MD consultation, and follow up visit to my family MD and I wasn’t afraid it would bankrupt my family. Come on you guys!!!

Fantastic!

i wonder how many times the rightwing judges plan to make this false claim, just to keep causing harm to literally millions of Americans by withholding their healthcare with these phony rulings? rightwing judges = a nation of corruption.

mercguybrarian Guess we've found our next Chief of Staff.

A law created by a Constitutional scholar, 'unconstitutional'... Ok Tex-ASS

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

I present Gruber........required “the stupidity of the American voter” for Obamacare to become law Anymore ?

In Texas, you can go free for rape but do not try to be insured! Priorities here.

Reed O’Connor This is the Houston judge who issued ruling. He has a history of ruling against efforts to help under privileged - SAD

Sad thing is Texas with its high uninsured rate and hospital in rule area closing, should be the last state fighting any health care system .

It's rule will go to supreme court, which as ruled before as it is constitutional.

Don't these judges get free, gold standard healthcare? That is just psychopathic! Take their healthcare away. I can't even conceive of paying what Americans are forced to pay for healthcare. Never paid a dime for it and I'm a mother of 3 & grandmother of 6!

Of course, what else would you expect from Texas!

Fucking Texas!!!

Sides with Texas and nineteen states? Wow!

This is all the fault of the GOP who knew this would happen by sabotaging the ACA.

Leave it to some idiot in Texas to do a good old boy number for the GOP. They make me sick with the levels they will stoop to in order to screw the little person, and then tell the little person it wasn't them doing it. They are a party built on lies. Lies and hate.

But I thought Individual 1 was keeping coverage for pre-existing conditions! Not yet another lie praytell Thanks to those who didn't use their brain and voted for this moron!🤦

How very inconvenient for 1 in 8 women. breastcancer

senJamesInhofe SenatorLankford Why the hell don’t you want me to have health insurance It’s in the nation’s best interest to have me healthy, working, paying taxes for all your numbnuts spending.

Is this a trump chosen judge?

GovGreg tedcruz JohnCornyn & Judge Reed O'Connor screw over human lives so that they can pack their own pockets with pac money from insurance & pharmaceutical companies. Voting has consequences maybe Texans will finally wake up & vote out the Republicans

Looks like Trump used Democrat Judge shopping against them. 🤣

Anyone that needs insurance should be able to purchase it just don't force people who don't want it to get it. ANTI-DICTATORSHIP

I never agreed with the dictator approach in terms of enforcing a penalty. Secondly, it seems like those who HAVE to get insurance for whatever reason don't mind the penalty (they won't get) and have no MERCY for those who want the free will to choose not to get insurance.

Since POTUS is a public servant,he must get basic H-Care,periodic drug testing &physiological evaluations. He can’t exceed 10 lies/yr. All meetings &work hrs. should be monitored POTUS&family assets can earn only 3% per term &the rest goes towards deficit. No one is above the law

Bye bye, Hussein legacy, and good riddance!

What do these people get out of their cruelty? What can twist a mind to the point of advocating to make citizens more vulnerable, even to the point of killing them? I am not religious at all, but I keep thinking about the Beast, slouching towards Bethlehem

Stupid judge!!! A real Trpian!’

Cowardly rule on ACA base on politics! Why play with healthcare Every American need health time to stop with the politics

Most Republicans think that the Constitution is unconstitutional. This judge is no exception.

Not surprising from this judge. He hasn't met a single provision of the ACA he likes. This will be reversed.

The Texas AG Ken Paxton has been indicted for securities fraud. The Koch brothers contributed thousands to Paxton’s campaign.

Texas. Who is surprised?

Texas...What did y’all expect? 😏

This WhiteHouse delivering the Christmas gift no one wanted. Heartless and callous. Forcing millions of people to lose their healthcare is part of the MAGA plan? Draining the swamp is cutting peoples healthcare & giving TaxCuts to the 1%. AmericanCareAct ACA Trump

Merry Christmas everyone. :(

ZuzanhkaZen GOPCorrupt is at it again😡Trying to take away our healthcare 😡 ProtectACA ProtectOurCare TrumpCorruption

Every f'n thing is an ideological opinion. Capitalism an ideological opinion. 'Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness' How is death do to lack of money -Life? How is being a wage slave to have healthcare -Liberty? How is making the majority of citizens miserable -Happiness?

While O’Conner was nominated by Bush, it is still a good time to remind people how bad it was for Schumer to fast track several of Trumps nominees. The Dems desperately need new leadership that ‘resists’ with more than playground banter.

Republicans still want to steal healthcare from people This will only help the BlueWave OMAGA

Who are the ones responsible for this lawsuit? Which GOPCorrupt has lead this? Names, States and Governors involved! ProtectACA

This is horrible.

Socialism always fails.

Great, I’m sure we can count on Kavanaugh 🙄

How is being forced to purchase anything constitutional? Short answer ,it's not.

How can this be? The Supreme Court has already ruled on this. Remove that judge from the bench!

That’s the intent. Ready Kavanaugh

Thread:

Another conservative activist judge. This will get overturned on common sense.

Here we go again.

whos going to defend it?

I am so tired of fighting GOP's repeated efforts to make sure healthcare is as inaccessible as possible.

GOOD!

I have insurance because of the ACA, and yes, I work full-time and I'm 63. W/out it, my premiums alone would be $13,000 a year, impossible to afford.

Why do I have a feeling the judge was appointed by a republican?

What a jerk!

He's a little late!

Was he one of trumpster’s unqualified judges?

supreme court and doj ruled parts of obamacare are not legal. More states have sued and won.

If scotus rules in Texas ' favor, that'll be the end of the ACA...for every American

😡

Where exactly in the Constitution does it prohibit healthcare? I can't find it.

Texas doing everything they can to maintain the nation’s highest uninsured rate.

Go get em Kav....... karma

How could a health care plan be unconstitutional😔😡😒

Time for Single Payer then.

Texas... wouldn’t ya know.

Can we give Texas their own “**Exit” opportunity? Along with North Carolina and a few others? A phrase an old friend used a long time ago comes to mind... “He/she is so narrow minded that both his/her ears are on the same side of their head.”

There’s a reason Texas is the greatest state in the nation. Good move!

What?! I can’t. You’ve got to be kidding.

Conservative fascist judges trying to help unregulated business profits, and the conservatives complain about 'radical leftist judges'... GreedOverCompassion TellItToStPeter

tedcruz JohnCornyn michaelcburgess GregAbbott_TX Don't you all have something better to do?!

RT This is really terrible news bc consistently more than half the people in that State are sick in the head.

I’m sure republicans have a solid plan in place to protect pre-existing condition coverage if it’s struck down. Not enough 🙄 exist to convey my feelings about this.

how convenient that he held his decision until after the mid-terms...

Here's where Roberts gets to meet the new guy.

This will put hospitals in a big hole, more uninsured cannot afford to visit hospitals.
