I love this. The Obamas honoring Nancy Pelosi with a garden in her name is so well deserved. Without Nancy Pelosi, there would be no Affordable Care Act.

No, that’s the effect of Republicans who didn’t want anything to affect the profits for their friends in the healthcare industry Ruin the program, strip benefits and features, make it cost more and be out of reach for so many people it was meant for

Imagine that I force you to buy your groceries at a specific grocery store. How hard do you think they will compete to lower their prices? And that's exactly how it played out with the 1-3 options available to people.

The ACA crashed and burned because her design hid the true cost of healthcare from consumers with subsidies, and when those subsidies expired (by design) costs exploded. A garden honoring her incredible prowess making “legal” stock trades would more accurately honor her legacy.

Wow !!!😮. I didn’t see that coming. What a pleasant surprise !!! Real leadership RESPECTS leadership 💯. Ladies and Gentlemen, I have a nomination for “ post of the night “ !!! Bravo, I salute you 🫡🫡🫡🫵🏾 👏🏾👏🏻👏🏼👏🏽👏🏿👍🏾 ( Informative/ Educational + American 🇺🇸 categories)

I feel the same way...I can't stand her (and I know its a ME thing so please don't rip my head off folks It's just an OPINION) She did some good stuff but I see her as kind of a mean girl with a lifestyle that has more to do with...getting wealth. Yes, I could be wrong. She's just not my cup of tea

Some of us think the refusal of the democratic leadership to have a conversation about universal healthcare ended with a country without healthcare and millions of dead Americans for profit. Passing the ACA when we voted for something else was a huge slap in the face.

Maybe don't use 'terms' you don't understand, John. That way you will avoid sounding like a parrot. The Obamas are definitely NOT 'ruling class' -- now sit down and hush, you're making a silly fool of yourself.

It doesn’t get more ruling class than 2 terms as president, dictating future presidential candidates, and doing things like organizing solidarity with oppressive police (persuading NBA players to stop considering striking until police are reformed so they stop murdering people).

Scotus is a cancer. Needs to go. I don't care how. As we say in Brooklyn NY, the fucking hard way or the easy way. This is a diseased, corrupted, bought & paid for, spineless, racist group that has no legitimate place is a civilized democracy. They do not represent the will or well-being of people!

The Obamas are so lovely & generous. I remember Oprah Winfrey, Speaker Nancy Pelosi & the late Senator Harry Reid encouraged President Obama to run for President of the United States. They were so supportive of the Obama Presidency. Blessings!🙏🏽🤎💙

Ewww. Nancy Pelosi deserves a lot of things (impeachment, the people's justice, a long sentence.) It is crazy to still be stanning these horrible people because every once in a while they take a break from ruining the country to throw you a bone. Absolutely servile behavior.

there should have never been one in the first place. pelosi and obama made sure a real solution to our healthcare problem was never attempted and instead we got this pathetic handout to the richest insurance company owners in the country. obama and pelosi could never care about the lower classes.

Dem voters who talk sh*t about Nancy (and Kamala) should learn more about #SanFrancisco circa 1940 to date and how nearly IMPOSSIBLE it was for women to enter local politics, AND what they learned to *negotiate* while sticking to their Ethics and Values as they carried on. Racism + Midogyny on HIGH🌁

Please don't group Nancy and Kamala together. Nancy is my senator and she lost the way about 30 years ago. Her husband's insider trading is legendary and her virtue signaling is useless when she acts according to her corporate overlords. She helped take out the public option from the ACA, so...

You say his insider trading was legendary, do you have proof? Have you ever reviewed her annual financial disclosures? They're public record. Lots of people throw around that accusation but never have proof. If it was legendary, it should be easy.

Nancy has never been a Senator. And I am an #SF native who came of age in The City as Pelosi and later KH made their way through the Irish + Italian, Male-dominated political Hornet’s Nest. Pelosi accomplished a TON of progressive measures locally and nationally for a long time.

Yes, and no. She’s a pro genocide Israel supporter. She told demonstrators against horrific policy outside of her home to go back to China. She’s part of the problem. Good riddance. Though she wasn’t nearly as bad as any Republican of late.

Yeah. And if the Democrats actually cared about people they would have passed universal healthcare instead of further entrenching the insurance companies that make US healthcare unaffordable.

Pelosi was the GOP's most vilified boogieman bc she was the best deterrent to their extreme avarice and the most effective advocate for everyday Americans. The GOP has no Pelosi. SAD! 😅 Pelosi is the GOAT!

Obamacare/ ACA finally coming to fruition was an immense accomplishment to have it finally come to fruition. It sickens me how the GOP has dismantled it to the shell of what it was before.

The ACA has increased health costs and significantly lowered the quality of outcomes. Nancy Pelosi is an inside trader who is friends with the Trumps to this day. She raised her shitty children to openly mock the homeless and they do. Anyone honoring her is a dipshit.

Been reading Republican talking points? Because actual analysis is that costs increased at a much reduced rate under the ACA (and extreme costs some were paying for things like pre-existing conditions, if they could get coverage at all, were eliminated completely).

A. Friend. The ACA was written at the heritage foundation for Ronald Reagan and Obama has said as much. Mitt Romney ran the program in Massachusetts. B. Life expectancy is plummeting and the ACA has not lowered costs. We have the most expensive but least effective healthcare in developed nations.

She and numerous Democrats are not the saintly figures you think they are. She and her family have always traded stocks with insider knowledge. Facts matter! But she enabled a lot of policy for the common good, I must admit.

Couple more things; first, you’re incorrect* Secondly, deportations don’t have a thing to do with the character of a person/president. * per multiple easily checked statistical search sites

Carrying out a racist immigration policy says nothing about your character? W Bush deported 2,012,426 people over 2 terms. Obama deported 2,000,446 in term 1, and another 1,494,363 people in his 2nd.

If you think the affordable care act is good for anyone except corporations, I have some prime real estate i can sell you hidden in the Everglades... The best way she could contribute to a garden is as fertilizer. She's so far right she should be a republican... Oh, and Obama is a war criminal!

I'm sorry, but what? Pelosi is not a hero and certainly doesn't deserve flowers! 🤮 A pile of manure perhaps but definitely not flowers. May they never bloom in that garden.

Is it called the Nancy Pelosi Neoliberal Imperialism and Insider Stock Trading Garden? Because that’s her legacy. The ACA is an insurance industry giveaway meant to convince starry eyed liberals that “access to healthcare“ is the same as actual healthcare. Incremental change for all!

She also split up the BBBA - giving republicans a huge gift in exchange for nothing*. At the same time screwing the progressive voters without whom Joe Biden wouldn’t have become president in 2020. *she could have held the BBBA together and forced some republicans to vote for it. But she didn’t.

Sorry - my bad - I forgot trump stole the acronym because he’s a little d*ck narcissist. I’m talking about the ORIGINAL BBBA. President Biden called it the BUILD BACK BETTER ACT. He ran for office on passing it - which - because it included a lot from Senator Sanders’ agenda - got Progressive

voters to vote for Joe Biden winning him the election. After the election (but not much) The BBBA was split in two by Speaker Nancy Pelosi. The “traditional infrastructure” became “the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.” Passed In November of 2021. Hope that helps.
