ā€œHe said President Donald Trump ā€˜has looked at’ the bill and thinks it will work.ā€

Yeah, like Trump has any depth of knowledge about health care policy.

Tryancare is a public-private scam condo tower constructed with recycled rebar, counterfeit Azerbaijani cement, and Chinese drywall atop a sandbar, all to divert attention from the giant tax cut McMansion going up across the street.

Those who have will have more.

Millions of Americans may be worse off under the House Republican bill to replace the Affordable Care Act. But some, particularly those who are wealthier, may actually fare better.

ā€œFrameā€ being the operative word here.

ā€œDonald Trump has looked at the rusted-out 1964 Chevrolet Bel-Air that has been sitting in a back yard in Valdosta, Georgia since 1977, and he thinks it will work.ā€

I’m still hoping the Congressional Budget Office arrives in time and, like a white knight, skewers this whole fiasco with its cold lance of reality.

Framework is only the structural support and the GOP plan talks about people, health care coverage, health care insurance and premiums. Good, solid structure. Beyond that it’s either a work in progress or the final nonnegotiable deal that may cover more or fewer people depending on who in the maladministration is talking.

Wow, 4 lies per day on average from Chairman Xam Wao. Only one lie-free day out of the fifty.

ā€œInsurance is not really the end goal here, is it?ā€ he said. Um, yes it is the end goal here. That’s what this entire fucking argument is about. Republicans are just plain evil.

You know, under a normal administration (either GOP or Democratic) one could assume that the usage of such terms as ā€œbetterā€ in describing efforts to improve that it meant more real benefits to the end user, say, along the lines of coverage, rates, quality, etc. With thus administration such terms as ā€œbetterā€ suggest we’d better be wary. Semantics are being turned on their head.
