Well, he certainly cleared that up. Does everybody understand now? No questions? Good - let’s do this, then.

His "logic holds incompatible ides – affordable insurance for all and special help for poor people. Aren’t “poor people” part of “all people”? Affordability for poor people should mean at -0- cost, so that’s on the affordability spectrum. Just what does he mean? I fear he means Price’s concept of “access”.

It’s so clear that the Republicans have no clue how to replace the ACA with something as good that will give effective medical coverage to people, they are just trying to put something together that they can point that will fool people to while cutting the taxes for the rich. It’s pathetic to watch, especially since it will cost lives…and they are rushing to do something quickly as the people are starting to wake up and notice.

When did
“insurance for everybody.”
not equal
“I think it means making insurance affordable for everyone, but also allowing for the kinds of reforms in Medicaid on a state-by-state basis that will ensure – that will make sure that we have health care coverage for the most vulnerable in our society,”

True, but I love thinking about how much he must sweat (I would have said swear but perhaps the religion-fascist doesn’t do that.) every time he has to try to clarify one of Trump’s statements.

Whereas Obama required an anger translator Trump will need a full time stupid bullshit translator. We can all agree Pence ain’t up to the job

That’s what constitutes “clarifies”? Really? I think it’s more like “further muddies the water” on the subject

State block grants is as cruel a hoax as is “access for all” - so long as whether YOU get health care coverage is dependent upon your state legislature’s annual budget (i.e., can be cut or eliminated each time the budget needs balancing) and your state gets to decide what is or is not covered - good luck with that!

Healthcare coverage should be the same whether you live in California or Alabama - i.e., the luck of your address should not decide whether you live or die due to a need for healthcare you cannot afford yourself

If to " clarify " is needed … Then by definition… it’s dirty —

Great to have a president whose every utterance gets walked back by someone else in his administration. Talk about going from the sublime to the ridiculous.
