"TrumpCare...Because LIFE is a Pre-Existing Condition." Trump's concept of a plan is deceptive and dangerous.

[Miles Archer]

I think we have to accept one thing...whether they wanted cheap eggs or mass deportations of brown people or thought Trump did a great job handling the pandemic in his first term ( ), one thing's for sure....I don't think that all 77,284,118 of the Americans who voted for him are gifted in "critical thinking" or "awareness." I don't know. I don't have time to "look into the souls" of 77,284,118 people. I know Trump's a con man, I know he targets the weak and ignorant and gullible, and that there are some of those people in the demographic that re-elected him, and that they are all not card-carrying MENSA members.

I DO KNOW that the Republican fetish for "health savings accounts" that "allow people to purchase their own healthcare" has been touted before, and it ultimately never gained traction because:

1). It puts people right back into the realm of pre-existing conditions
2). People would spend a lot of money, only to find out that they had poor coverage (or NO converage) when it came to many ailments
3). The BIG BENEFICIARIES are healthcare lobbyists and Trump donors. He's selling it as "TAKING THE MONEY AWAY FROM THE HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY and PUTTING IT THE HANDS of AMERICANS," but if they TAKE that money and GO to the Healthcare Industry to BUY coverage, well...you see what I mean.

This is ALL SAINT RONNIE THE GIPPPER, your patron saint and mine, Zombie Reagan, and his "Welfare Queen" HATRED of working class and poor Americans coming back to center stage.

We say it here 100 times a day in 100 different ways but we all come back to the same conclusion.

Republicans believe that billionaires MUST be given as much cash as POSSIBLE, and that it is a SHAMEFUL act to give a man a FISH if he has a fucking FISHING POLE in his garage and can catch one himself. Elon Musk should NEVER have to go anywhere NEAR a body of water for his meals. The fish should be caught, boned, cleaned, and delightfully pan-fried for him with olive oil and capers and brought to his table, because what part of SERVANTS ARE HERE TO SERVE do you not understand?

And the 77,284,118 Americans just hear "PRESIDENT TRUMP IS GOING TO SEND US A CHECK!" and their keen, razor sharp minds go NO FURTHER THAN THAT.

[allegorical oracle]

1. Odds are that the check will be tied to a caveat: It must be spent on a health

insurance policy. And, well, if you're denied insurance due to a pre-existing condition, you won't get a check. Too bad...just go curl up and die -- or go bankrupt.

2. And the people pushing this have the best healthcare available in America, FREE, for LIFE

I'm not going to pretend to understand why Americans keep voting for this, but they do.

It REALLY IS "frog & scorpion." They let the Republicans ride on their back across the river, the Republicans sting them, they say "YOU PROMISED," and Republicans just shrug their shoulders and look for someone else to sting that's not a billionaire.

4. It'll certainly be a BOGO coupon where almost nobody except those who don't need a coupon can afford the...

First one. (BOGO = Buy One Get One)

That way the republicans can be seen as doing something FOR FREE and then they pocket almost all of the proceeds. Hey, it sort of works for Lindell.

3. My biggest question is and always has been... Why is it necessary to destroy the ACA completely before a transition to...

What they are claiming is “something better(tm)”?

I agree with you that all the masses are going to hear is that Trump is going to send them money. Money that they believe they can spend on beer and Cheetos. This has always been the wedge used for issues like school vouchers. But, they are still waiting for the money on those too.

[Miles Archer]

5. It's necessary because while it is OFFICIALLY NAMED the Affordable Care Act, it will also always be known as ObamaCare

If I had a legitimate, accurate, honest response for you OTHER THAN THAT, I'd share it, but THAT is why it must be destroyed.

Trump's seething hatred for Obama has no limits. He has been systematically trying to eradicate every piece of legislation tied to Obama for that reason alone.

The only reason we don't have multiple, ongoing "investigations" of Obama by Gym Jacket Off Jordan and Comer Pyle is that THERE IS NOTHING TO INVESTIGATE. The CLOSEST Trump has come to that is his conspiracy theory about "Obama ordering the CIA to spy on him." Just as accurate as the "birther" nonsense TRUMP INVENTED.

It's healthcare that was instituted on the watch of a Black man in the White House. Trump has NO INTEREST in "replacing it," that would be too much like WORK. He just wants it gone so that "ObamaCare" is no longer something that's said out loud.
