Is it possible to find a post of mine from several years ago---during the Obama administration?

The title was "Poor People Just Die" and several DUers asked to use it.

In view of VP Biden's emphasis on what losing Obamacare would be like, I think my old OP would be informative.

If I hit the link to search under (advanced search DU2), it simply takes me back here. I've been meaning to ask for quite some time. I wonder if it was taken down?

I'm talking about here (under advanced search). There is a link where visit DU2 appears, but it just takes me back to the current version/page
