Yeah, that whole "Affordable" Care Act thingy didn't really work out for poor people.

I can’t tell how much snark is in your post but I gravied it anyhoo because I feel the ACA would’ve been much better if the president at the time didn’t insist on it being “bipartisan”, which meant both sides invited health insurance lobbyists to sink their pens into it.

One of the reasons this is ravaging the African American community is because many of them are refusing to wear masks. Hardly Trump's voting block. But I do agree with you that many of his hardcore supporters are following his lead and are not wearing masks as well.
I haven't seen any data to support that theory. Money, access to quality healthcare, and comorbidities seem to be much more likely culprits.

I tried using ACA when I first got off my parent's insurance. Nobody would accept it and it wasn't much cheaper than the alternatives and had a high deductible, but if you're poor enough, Medicaid is awesome. If you're not poor enough for Medicaid you're probably just as screwed medically as the majority of Americans. Although I feel sure those who just barely don't qualify for Medicaid suffer the most.

Cuyahoga county, the biggest Democratic county in Ohio, just made wearing masks in any public place mandatory and people in the county are losing their shit over it. Unfortunately stupidity runs rampant on both sides at times. I mean we all witness that here when Wickie and Valve post on the same days.

What are you even defending here? I think you've strayed offtopic. If you'll recall, the start of this was your objection over someone observing that the Trump administration and crew have turned this into an anti-science political war. Why are you even upset by that?

I wasn't defending anything. Certainly not Trump.
 
Can someone please explain how ordering mask wearing is a violation of the constitution? Particularly free speech? I keep hearing that as an argument against mask wearing, but I don’t know how.

Thanks

I would challenge anyone saying that to name for me the first ten amendments. Or hell, just ask them what the first ten are called. I bet you get crickets back.

We've been living under some "state of emergency" or another since the 1930's. Whatever the constitution does or doesn't have to say about it is at best a formality at this point anyway.

Also what fly said.
