They seem to be firing off in all directions over this, a sign of great planning and uniform agreement.
Lovely to watch.
Of course, âlongâ to Trump is also 5 inches.
Whenever I think Trump is stupid he says something to convince me that stupid doesnât begin to describe this dimwit.
As usual, the Trumpet hasnât a clue about the actual policy or the mechanics of the health care insurance system.
Of course if he says REPEAL and REPLACE with Medicare for All, well then, Iâll change my tune. (as if)
He really, really hasnât a clue as to just how complex and genuinely complicated any replacement plan will be. The man is truly a moron.
He told the New York Times that Republicans should
vote on repeal âprobably some time next week,â and
he said that the replacement should come âvery quickly
or simultaneously, very shortly thereafter."
Exactly âŚ
To have an actual " grasp " of reality ⌠One must possess the capability âŚ
Trump: If it takes us 4 or even 8 years, so be it. We need a plan that is better than OCare. I also dont want any of my voters paying for it. All of it should be paid by Democratic voters. They are in majority anyways.
It also has to be âa terrificâŚincredible⌠wonderful, replacement,â as I recall.
Once again, Trump writes checks with his mouth that his body canât cash.
Please proceed ASSHOLE
Pardon us but your stupidity is showing
You break it
You own it
Even the dimbulbs around you know youâre screwed.
It was always a Republican plan to keep the insurance lobby happy.
Cancel it and youâll kill people and piss off the wrong groups
Insurance companies , Doctors and Hospitals not to mention Wall Street when those stocks dive
Yâall are looking like the incompetent amateurs we know you are
It will get worse after Horrible Friday. But the president is playing them and as usual they donât know it
@pluckyinky But Barack Obama does have a clue. Also, tonight farewell address. Letâs all be watching.
NYT reporting
Trumpâs position undercuts Republican leaders who want a quick vote to repeal President Obamaâs signature domestic achievement but who also want to wait as long as two to three years to come up with an alternative.
Trump, who seemed unclear about the timing of already scheduled votes in Congress this week, demanded a repeal vote âprobably some time next week,â and said âthe replace will be very quickly or simultaneously, very shortly thereafter.â
That demand is very likely impossible. Republicans in Congress are nowhere close to agreement on a major health bill that would replace President Obamaâs signature domestic achievement
The first year of a presidency is typically when all the major policy changes are enacted. Is Trump going to burn the lionâs share of his political capital making some modest adjustments to Obamacare this year? i.e. solidifying Democratic legislation as a cornerstone of American health policy for decades to come?
Trumpâs plan is one of those post ACA eight,
At last check, the CBO hasnât changed those rules.
So pass a new plan in a week or two. That of course requires that the plan exists and is mostly agreed on. That is not the case.
And even if it were, the Liberty for poor people to die Caucus type could easily block replacement. Funny how that âtwo weeksâ could stretch into years, if not forever.
The one constant with Trump is that heâll shift the blame elsewhere. The longer the fight over the ACA lasts, the messier itâll get and the more shit Trump will toss at Congressional Republicans.
Michelle had better make sure Barack doesnât OD on popcorn.
Theyâll all be using that famous Republican Health Care Plan âThe Emergency Room ÂÂŽâ˘â
Nor do congressional GOPers. They only know that they hate it because it was passed by Democrats. The GOP canât come up with a replacement plan that is significantly different from the ACA because the ACA is essentially their plan.
This is a separate issue and is not dependent on healthcare.
This is shaping up to become a policy quagmire for the Republicans lasting several weeks or months in the critical first phase of a new presidency.
F*ing beautiful
