Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsTrump said today "democrats want to take away your healthcare".
I laughed because it is so untrue but what if he were trying out an election strategy in the case Biden or Harris don't win and Elizabeth Warren or Bernie do. They are taking away your healthcare means the ACA and private health insurance would be gone and replaced by medicare for all. Nobody will remember that Trump has been trying to implode it. He could win on private healthcare being taken away. He could. Just an fyi for the general election.

What Trump said about us taking health cate is ludicrous. I wonder if any other press outlet has reported this.

(11,885 posts)Caused the ACA premiums to skyrocket just before the 2016 election, then signed into law their tax scam bill , also taking billions out of Medicaid , Medicare, and Social Security. Their present budget also takes billions more out of those programs, and has already told aides he's going to gut those programs completely if re-elected. Before his election he promised the best health care plan, cheaper covering more and everyone would get covered, but he lied. Just a month or two ago he announced he would come out with his plan, he lied and didn't. Why? Because it was so bad they couldn't. So now he's doing the same thing promising something he knows he won't ever do, and lying again. That's how con men do, tell people lies to make themselves look better, until they get exposed like most always do. When he claims the Dems will take your health care, he's really telling people he will, and his pattern shows he does this all the time. This shows his intent is to defraud the American people, just like he did with drug prices claiming he'd get them down then took millions from Big pharma and has done nothing while their prices skyrocket. He lied again. He lied about pre-existing conditions too while they were trying to take them away.
