    OK, let's start with the first one. The one that was written by the Heritage Foundation, the makers of Project 2025, that increased the stock price of every major health insurance company, and killed any chance for a universal health care plan. The one that left 30mil Americans uninsured, and another 90mil Americans under-insured. That one?

    The version of the bill that passed the house was based on Stanford professor Alain Enthoven’s proposal in 1978 to use the federal employee benefits program as a model for a national health care program. Here is the Heritage Foundation dismissing that conspiracy theory.

    The ACA increased healthcare coverage by tens of millions of Americans andade it illegal to discriminate based on preexisting conditions.

    And if not for Independent Joe Lieberman and Every Single Republican, it would have instead been passed as public option and function virtually the same way as Germany's healthcare system.
