  • Florida was once considered the ultimate swing state in US presidential elections, with results at times almost impossibly close. In recent years, however, this once purple state has turned a deep shade of red. In this report, France 24’s Genie Godula takes a look at how with Donald Trump turned Florida into a Republican stronghold, and if the Democrats can hope to win it back.

    9:05 It should be noted that Obama did NOT put his name on his signature piece of legislation. The official name is "The Affordable Care Act." Republicans nicknamed it Obamacare as a slur against it, and for the first few years, it worked. But now the ACA is popular, and the name Obamacare is still what people know it as.

      I'm sorry, where do you get the idea that healthcare in the U.S. is popular? It's a total disaster. At the very least, both Trump and RFK Jr.'s supporters hate the state of healthcare in the U.S., and that essentially makes it 45-55 against it.
      Of course, I don't know how many people there still are that think the healthcare abomination has nothing to do with the "Affordable Care Act", probably the same as the number of people who think that acts of Congress are named after what they're for, instead of what the Congress cockroaches and their corporate bedfellows want us to believe they're for.
      But at minimum, I think neither RFK Jr. nor Trump's supporters support the ACA. Or, indeed, any of the corrupt measures Congress has passed for the pharmaceutical and medical industries.

    Obamacare is not an option, if your employer doesn't offer you insurance, it's mandatory.
    It's expensive, the coverage is terrible, it needs massive reform.
