now the Supreme Court found the ACA to
be constitutional it did not violate the
constitution much like Social Security
it was based on the federal government's
taxing power remember Francis Perkins
and the taxing power being used to
secure Social Security the same strategy
is used to secure Obamacare but the
Supreme Court did say that the federal
government could not force states to
expand Medicaid and cover more of their
poor people and many republican Le
States including Texas refused to expand
Medicaid to cover more people despite
the fact that 90% of the costs are paid
for by the federal government under the
ACA but some states later voted to
expand Medicaid usually through ballot
initiatives over the opposition of their
Republican leaders and you can see all
the states that have expanded medicaid
on the map in dark blue and that
includes some very conservative States
like Arkansas Louisiana and
Oklahoma Co pushed Utah and Idaho and
solidly read Oklahoma and Missouri to
expand Medicaid in 2020 and North
Carolina passed legislation in 2023 to
expand Medicaid effective December 1st of
of
2023 still several million people remain
stuck in the Medicaid expansion Gap in
the states in Orange they don't make
enough money to pay for their own health
insurance even with the help of the
marketplace and subsidies but they make
too much money to qualify for Medicaid
in those States that never expanded its coverage
coverage
the uninsured rate was about 17.1% in
the fourth quarter of 2013 before the AC
ACA individual mandate went into effect
by the end of 2016 it had fallen to
10.9% and while the ACA Remains the law
today early in his presidency Trump
announced quote I want people to know
Obamacare is dead it's a dead healthc
care plan and they did try to overturn
it they were just not successful Trump
shortened the annual enrollment period
of marketplace insurance plans they cut
funds for marketing those plans and for
ACA Navigators who help Americans enroll
in the plan that's right for them the
uninsured rate in 2019 was the highest
since the ACA was enacted as a result of
these policies now in late 2018 Trump
and the GOP passed the tax cuts and jobs
act cutting taxes by $2.3 trillion
dollar which added quite a bit to the
deficit but they also set the individual
mandate penalty down to0 doar as of 2019
and Trump and the Republicans argued
that without a tax associated with the
act now because it was down to zero the
remainder of the Act was
unconstitutional they argued that the
Mandate was not severable able to be
broken away from the ACA and that as a
result the court should now rule the
entire Obamacare law as
unconstitutional the Supreme Court heard
this case in November 2020 but rejected
that argument in their ruling in June of
2021 now in 2009 Obama deployed 177,000
more troops to Afghanistan that put your
thinking caps on where have we seen a
president dealing with an Insurgency in
a Middle Eastern country we're at war
with deploy a bunch of troops to try to
deal with that Insurgency before they
leave the
country good basically Obama used in
Afghanistan The Surge strategy that bush
had used in Iraq again this is kind of
the middle PA idea here there's a lot of
Republican stuff in Obama's presidency
The Surge was followed by a draw down of
American troops and the Afghan military
though proved unable to defend itself
despite billions of dollars in training
and we see comparisons here to both
Vietnam and Iraq in January 2011 Admiral
mccraven planned a possible raid on a
complex they suspected Bin Laden might
be at but it was entirely circumstantial
evidence there was no consensus as the
Obama Administration debated they had
several options they could do nothing
and wait for more information they could
do an air raid which would give them no
proof of death no evidence nothing like
that or they could do the raid and
actually put soldiers on the ground Vice
President Biden was against the mission
until there was proof Bin Laden was
there he feared local Fallout from a
seal raid in Pakistan and a possible
firefight with
pakistanies Secretary of Defense Gates
recommended an air strike with no forces
on the ground he had worked with the
executive assistant to the CIA director
who approved operation eagleclaw under
Carter do we remember operation Eagle
Claw under Carter that was the botched
helicopter attempt to rescue the Iranian
hostages in April of
1980 now the chairman of the Joint
Chiefs sedal Mike McMullen CIA director
Panetta and Secretary of State Hillary
Clinton all supported a raid by Special
Forces Tony blinkin Biden's top National
Security advisor said quote I remember
when the president left the meeting I
was not convinced he was going to do it
leaving that meeting I think a lot of
people had visions of Jimmy Carter in
their heads at h 20 the next morning
Obama said I've considered the decision
it's a go but secde Gates warning led to
a well thought out contingencies in the
plan they changed the plan now there
would be two Blackhawks with 25 Navy
Seals and two Chinooks with a backup
force and fuel for midair refueling to
support them on May 2nd 2011 May 1st in
the United States US Navy Seals
conducted Operation Neptune star a raid
deep into Pakistan where they killed AMA
Bin Laden so take a look at this next
clip to get an idea of what happened
there but a fair warning there is some
flashing lights when they do the
depiction of the raid so if that bothers
you you may want to look away or stop
