Easy to lose sight of the significance here, but the sitting president just gave a speech condemning the Supreme Court for a ruling that expands presidential power. It’s also a president who stands to benefit from this ruling, given that his opponent is vowing to imprison him and his family.
He did the most Democratic thing ever, which was to agree with a meaningless dissent and then tell us that as President he didn't have the power or legitimacy to do anything about it and that it was up to us.
Just think: if we kept voting, we could elect a whole string of Democratic Presidents all of whom would tell us that they can't do anything and that it was up to us to elect another Democratic President who would also not be able to do anything.
I was only able to retire early because of the ACA
I am looking forward to the $2K annual out of pocket limit on Medicare drugs starting next January
Medicare btw was LBJ
I remember him
He did mess up on a Supreme Court appointment
Fortas, who resigned
That has had bad effects for 55 years
Presidents at that time were not kings.
And now thanks to SCOTUS, the agencies have been stripped of what independent power they had to try to fix things. So now Congress definitely has to do that work.
ACA does have annual out of pocket maximums afaik
Mine was about $2000/year
That's on top of premium
Which was 250 or 300/month
No idea where 5K/month on ACA happens
He had a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate for 3 months out of his entire presidency. Then the Senate flipped because voters did not back him up and he missed his chance.
Obama and Democrats did set annual out of pocket maximums for ACA plans
And Biden and Democrats set annual out of pocket caps on drugs
2K per year starting next January

I was on a basic silver plan
Deductible was $2K per year for everything
So there's no way I would have had to pay $5K/month or even $5K/year
Maximum out of pocket was 8K for the bronze plans iirc
I don't know what exact plan you're talking about
