Everyone “needs” ACA. The consumer protections such as removal of coverage caps and preexisting condition exemptions from policies was huge, and affected all policies, not just the ones on the exchanges.
If ACA goes, those protections go, and there will be much crying and wailing even among Republicans and no doubt they will all blame Obama.
By 5pm, some Fox contributor will have invented an arbitrary case of a Democrat, any Democrat, referring to a dead person in any way whatsoever, and pronounce that balance has been restored because anything Donnie does, a Democrat has done worse. Then, by 6pm, it’ll be forgotten.
I hear he’s also really worked up over Martin Van Buren’s failure to adequately quell the panic of 1837.
I certainly understand. I get peeved when politicians provide false promises and misleading claims on health care. I am particularly peeved about one dotard politician who made the following false promises on health care while campaigning:
Everybody’s got to be covered. This is an un-Republican thing for me to say because a lot of times they say, No, no, the lower 25 percent that can’t afford private.’ But–
I am going to take care of everybody. I don’t care if it costs me votes or not. Everybody’s going to be taken care of much better than they’re taken care of now.
[uninsured people are] going to be taken care of. I would make a deal with existing hospitals to take care of people. And, you know what, if this is probably–
The government’s gonna pay for it. But we’re going to save so much money on the other side. But for the most it’s going to be a private plan and people are going to be able to go out and negotiate great plans with lots of different competition with lots of competitors with great companies and they can have their doctors, they can have plans, they can have everything.
Perhaps McCain’s original promise and later reversal had something to do with the fact that the proposal didn’t live up to its promises.
I think there’s roughly 7 billion people he’d like to make miserable given the power and time to do it.
You told McCain and the rest of America that you had a better and cheaper plan.
All we’ve seen so far are measures to wreck ACA that are so clumsy that they manage to reduce coverage while increasing the cost to taxpayers.
Like the lawyer joke?
Why do they bury lawyers 20 feet deep?
Because deep down, they’re good people.
And McCain’s still kicking Trump’s butt, despite that pre-existing condition.
I assume Megan is priming the pump…
The height of cowardice: to pick a fight with someone unable to defend himself because the target is DEAD.
Strom Thurmond peed sitting down.
It takes a special kind of moronic slime-ball to attack a dead man, especially when the deceased is widely regarded as a national hero.
"The most emotional and primitive person in the room commands the most attention."
And has living relatives, who may respond…
Advice to Trump:
Get over it, just get over it.
Trump is perhaps the world’s most under-appreciated comic performance artist.
It won’t be until he winks at us on the way out of the WH (in handcuffs) that we’ll finally be ‘in’ on the joke.
From the Golden Escalator (in a not-so-subtle argument against the excesses of consumerism, as well as a nod-and-wink to pop culture in The Simpsons) to over-the-top insults of the deceased (as a reminder of the frailty of humanity).
Who could forget his condom-free flirtation with Syria, with the breathless “will he/won’t he” pull out in time? With someone like him, the result really never was in question. Hope Syria took her pills.
Really, the absolute height of absurdism, puts Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are Dead to shame.
He is incapable of letting go.
Respect for the dead. Not in this WH. Yet they still support this lunatic.
Lindsey Graham had a tepid response to Trump’s attacks on McCain, not even mentioning Trump or pointing out the lies. Friends like that, we don’t need.
Where is the backlash from the thousands who attended McCain’s funeral?
