JHC…‘you may have a CARD but if you don’t USE it you don’t have coverage.’ ’ EVERYONE in the ACA hates it’ ‘It’s failing EVERYONE!’ and on and on and on. This is BS 101 straight out of the mouths of 6th graders running for class President. No, Sorry Spice. We have FACTS. We have STATISTICS. We can UNDERSTAND how many people use it. YOU are a liar and a whiner…just like your boss.

A puppy responds to Spicey

“It makes it seem like it’s all rainbows and puppies,” he complained.

This is hilarious, coming from a spokesman for the man who is probably the biggest fraudulent huckster of the modern era.

Not that there’s anything wrong with rainbows and puppies.

Reminds me of the Filipino nurse I worked with years ago–She reported her patient had ‘puppy eyes… you know, puppy like swollen’!

“Baghdad Bob” Spicer speaks again!

This guy is going to die of a stoke right there on the stage the way he is going.

Every time I see him give one of these “Press Conferences” he looks like he just took a huge bite out of a Shit Sandwich and is trying to swallow it as fast as he can, but the Press keeps asking him to Chew it some more.

The ironic thing, if they would get their crap program through, that is EXACTLY how the millions who will lose their insurance will remember ACA…

I want to know what this bill will do to compel additional insurers to serve the one-third of counties that only have one insurer.

“There’s a difference between walking around with someone and saying, ‘Hey, I have a card’ than ‘I have care.’ That’s a big, big difference.”

This, from the people arguing that their big metric for success is “we’ll make sure everyone can have a card if they want one, but we’re getting rid of the minimum standards for insurance that qualifies for the subsidies”??? Whose measurement is “access to cards, even if they chose not to get one” not “how many actually have one and are able to get treatment”??? [Insert primal scream here]

“Spicer pointed to reports that a third of U.S. counties have only one insurer on the individual market and argued this is a sign that “the system is collapsing.””

No, it’s not. It’s a sign that 1/3 of the land area of the US is sparsely populated backwoods economic limbo. His argument is like looking at the electoral map’s red and blue areas and believing it shows Trump won like 90% of the popular vote.

Under ACA, those cards meant something.

Haven’t seen anything from TrumpCare to suggest the cards would be stronger. There’s certainly nothing in there addressing actual health care.

So, millions of people voted illegally last November. Obama is running a shadow Government in DC. Obama also microwaved Trump Tower to get secret pictures of everyone in their bathrobes. Obama cooked the books on jobs numbers for the past 8 years (but now the jobs numbers are just fine!). And the ACA gave insurance coverage to rainbows and puppies.

Reality is a curse to these people.

T rump is a curse on this nation.

It won’t compel, but it will remove the bottom-line minimum requirements for an insurance plan to qualify for subsidies, so that these insurers can create insurance products that are nothing but illusory nonsense with a really cheap price tag, which will be very appealing for undereducated rural folks who don’t know any better.

tRyancare is designed to deal a losing hand of cards to everyone. Hence, when they need a royal flush to cover their expenses, they’ll be forced to fold. Republicans win.
