Discussion: GOP Scrambles To Deal With Trump's Decision On Health Care

As far as I am concerned, Donnie can keep on punching himself in the face ad infinitum.

Actually, the Republicans had a plan, but Obama stole it from them and even put his name on it - Thanks Obama! :tired_face:

You know that was the single most brilliant thing Obama did.

We stole your plan boys and now you have fuck all. hahahahaha You wouldn’t even cooperate with your plan - too bad, turns out people kind of like it. Should have passed it yourselves.

BWAAAAhahahahahahahahaha

If the White House does come up with a healthcare plan (doubtful), it will be crap, provide crap coverage for fewer people, fail to include patient protections, knock millions off healthcare, be unworkable, be incredibly more expensive or all of the above.

Trump, without knowing anything about it, will pronounce it terrific, wonderful, the best ever in the history of the world. Enough of his base will support it that the Republicans will, somewhat reluctantly, get behind it. Then Trump will change his mind, the Republicans will try to figure out what he wants, they’ll cobble something together, he’ll agree to it, and then trash it, and then there will be a skinny plan, and nothing will get done.

Sound familiar? The party of Healthcare.

Yeah Trump reversed course all on his own. This had to piss off Mick the Prick.

I just wonder how KAC and SHS can spin all the jobs lost in healthcare if the President and the Republicans win at getting the PPACA overturned? How many empty urgent care clinics will go belly up? How many people cut from insurance companies that have nothing to do with mergers and acquisitions? And would it go as deep to effect CVS and Walgreens that have sprouted up on every corner?

I read an interesting piece about this last night. He can’t stand the peacefulness of winning for very long. He has to have a fight going, if not a dozen, or he goes crazy. He always snatches defeat from the jaws of victory - always.

I believe it’s the chaos he loves. He’s only happy when he’s fighting, win or lose.

I also believe that he is one of those people that can’t stand to be alone. I’ve met a few over the years and I’ve never understood how anybody doesn’t revel in the ability to be alone, think one’s own thoughts, study, or just be.

If pelosi is smart, she’ll declare that the House will only take the Trump health care reform package once its passed the Senate… and then send the senate a ā€œmedicare buy in for everyoneā€ bill…

If given a binary choice between him winning or having his enemies lose, he’ll take the latter every time. He probably doesn’t get much out of winning, since he assumes that’s just the ā€œrightā€ state of affairs. His sadism is much more fulfilling.

He can’t stand a peaceful life. He has to have strife.

And why is that? I think it’s because when there’s peace there is space to sit back and reflect on yourself and your life. Trump can’t tolerate that—not for a moment. It’s pretty obvious why.

It’s the same reason he is compulsively on the phone, especially at night. Drown out those moments of silence, at all costs!

If only!

They love the idea for health insurance. It’s their ideal business model. Get paid huge amounts of money and then don’t deliver ANY PRODUCT. Be the middleman for humans and health care, deny coverage, huge deductibles, changing rules, vast beauracracy that frustrates doctor’s and patients. Plus it drives up the cost of operations and medication so private entities win!
The only thing better than that is managing hedge funds.

That is at the root of it - you’re right. He can’t be alone with his thoughts.
