Tip O Neill & Reagan were fierce political rivals but could still work together. Reagan was no
but he had some integrity unlike Turnip. + -
Truth be told, Reagan sucked kind of. Imagine Trump, with a nicer persona and more effective people, but lots of the same crap policies.

So true! Except Ron didn't dare agitate North Korea.

No, Congress' healthcare is the ACA health exchanges in the DC area. Govt does pay 3/4 of the premiums for the highest tier plan.

U do know that ACA is just "expanded" Medicaid? I doubt the populace u refer to are enrolling in Medicaid plans.
-
by populace do you mean congress? they don't enroll in medicaid, they enroll through the ACA marketplace.

Omg, these people don't even understand what the ACA is, they think it's Medicaid?
