like the 116% hike in Arizona. Also, deductibles are so high that it is practically useless. Don't let the Schumer clowns out of this web.

Being called a clown by a guy who bathes in orange paint and has an eight dimensional comb over is like being called large by an elephant.

1. Trump says, "Give the wheeze a squeeze; many people like to."

2. Well, projection is kind of his brand.

He's just telling us what he's most insecure about.

[Cha]

3. Oh really..

[Trust Buster]

4. Yeah, send 20 million uninsured people back to the emergency rooms of America and the insurance

hikes that Trump is crying about will look like mere child's play. He is just not smart enough to speak to such issues.

5. we are, if we don't kick that election thief traitor out of office immediately

so get used to the funny shoes and phony noses. We deserve to wear them

6. Trump's favorite ironic statement?

"Also, deductibles are so high that it is practically useless."

I agree that high deductibles suck.

However, it is really outrageous that a Republican would make this statement, since they constantly berated Obamacare for taking away catastrophic insurance plans, which have high deductibles by definition. Republicans used to love to reminisce about how young people used to be able to purchase cheap "catastrophic" health plans because they rarely got sick.

14. Democrats really needed to stand by their legislation better

It was a pretty easy retort, but for some reason every Democrat got lockjaw when it came to defending the Affordable Care Act: "By repealing the Act, Republicans want to return to the days of denials of coverage for pre-existing conditions" Easy to say, easy to remember. "Republicans want to kick young people off their parents' insurance." Too esoteric? "Republicans want to bring back useless insurance policies that provide no real coverage." Let Republicans try to explain why catastrophic insurance policies were more desirable for people, because they aren't.

Instead, Democrats let Republicans set the terms of the discussion, hemming themselves in to the worst aspects of the ACA, and failing to tie Republicans to the Act's shortcomings and refusal to do anything to make the Act work better for more people.

7. I take it that he is now in favor of

some form of universal single payer health care ?

no worries about deductibles and premiums.

8. Nothing like going to war with more than half of your countrymen

before you even take office. Idiot.

9. He should remove the face paint and red nose from his own face

before worrying about an imagined smudge on our face.

11. "Don't look at the speck in your brother's eye..."

"Don't look at the speck in your brother's eye when you have a spray on tan and a eight dimensional comb over."

[TexasProgresive]

12. You got it.

[TonyPDX]

10. He exposes himself through nonsense like this, and I hope he'll continue.

[Zambero]

13. Schumer had a great retort

Essentially, that Donald Trump needs to stop clowning around with people's healthcare.
