Hot air.
But not the parts insurance companies make money on. Those can stay.
Donnie may be a teetotaler, but the rest of Washington isn’t. They’ll all be attending parties. I can imagine just how happy they’ll be to hear that Trump wants a special session, so stop the hookers and blow.
Congress: “Um we just checked our schedules and… well we don’t work on Fridays.”
Trump: “I said we would repeal and replace Day One, now do it!”
Congress: “We definitely can’ vote to repeal it, but for the other part…”
(Democrats in Congress off to the side laughing their a$$es off)
We will repeal it on his first day in office just so the GOP and FOX News and Breitbart can get their rocks off.
What are you gonna replace it with?
We don’t know. We haven’t thought that through over the past 6.5 years, just the Repeal part.
. One hangup–and once he figures this out, it may solve the problem–since he isn’t a member of Congress, he would not necessarily be the focus of attention. Even if he is holding galas while this goes on, the focus would be split, and every eye in the world would not be on him. Some of those eyes would be watching Congress, and a lot of the mouths would be talking about what a disaster he is. Not festive.
Has Conway figured out that the campaign is actually over? Or I might be wrong. These people may think that the campaign will go on foreverer.
So when are we going to get the part of the interview where KAC answered the question “What will you replace it with” and she answered “You can buy health insurance across state lines, just like car insurance.” Good to know that our bodies were massed produced, assembled somewhere, and are easy to fix. Oh and when injured or sick I can just take a photo of myself and send it to the doctor. Claims will be so easy!
Is she serious?
Isn’t that what we were doing before - except it was way more expensive and the insurance company could pick and choose who to cover? Plus if you were too old to be on your parent’s plan you were kicked off?
OMG I feel sick. Thank goodness I have health insurance because of ObamaCare. Fior fucking now…
I just can’t wait for all the cheering Pubbies will be doing when they tell around 20,000,000 Americans that the Pubbie Party just ended their healthcare insurance coverage and now paying for their healthcare is their problem.
Pubbiies don’t seem to tell anybody that insurance companies can sell insurance policies across state lines right now if they want to.
Right??
ugh, it’s too early for this. I want to go back to bed and pretend it’s all a dream, that this has all been a dream…
Is there an assumption on Trump’s part there is some 10,000 page bill out there that will repeal and replace ACA which congress can vote on for Trump’s special day.? Shouldn’t KAC know better since she has been in politics for some time? He’s surprised by the scope of the duties of the president and clueless as how to government functions.
Dear “Bernie or Bust!” people:
Congratulations! You got “bust”!
Enjoy the rest of your lives.
The “Con” in Kellyanne Conway remains intact. The spin continues.
The next 4 years are going to be a royal clusterfuck of such comically inept yet tragic nature it’s difficult to even imagine. Picture your worst case scenarios and outcomes. Now, grant that those musings will be more horrible by a magnitude of 10. Even Trump doesn’t want to watch the implosion up close, preferring to have aides whisper the less alarming version of what he’s wrought into his ear in the Trump Tower penthouse.
Well, give them the weekend, but then definitely the following Tuesday morning.
Obamacare will be utterly and completely repealed. The new Trumpcare that replaces it on an interim basis will be completely different approach. For example, the penalties for violating the healthcare mandate will be reduced by 1$ across the board, and the requirement that plans cover contraceptives for women (except if the fellow they’re with is a senior member of the Republican party) will be completely removed.
PHARMA, the health insurance companies, the AMA, and hospital corporations will spend the following three years and 11 months in a to-the-death legislative struggle to revise Trumpcare.
Trump will fund a new health initiative with the penalties from his 2nd Amendment Law. Everyone in the nation will be mandated to prove personal ownership of a gun. You can decline, but doing so requires paying an opt out penalty on a yearly basis, sufficient in the aggregate to fund a replacement for the ACA.
She’s an idiot. You do not buy your auto insurance across state lines. Your auto insurance is always bought within your state and pursuant to your state’s law. Just because it covers you everywhere in the country doesnt mean that you bought it across state lines. Health insurance also covers you throughout the country, but it is bought pursuant to your state law— except, of course, the hated Obamacare, where its policies must meet certain national standards.
Oh we know that the Republicans will replace the ACA with–Beg for help from the churches!
