This repeal and replace of the healthcare law is going to be a real sticky subject.
Trump says it will be an electoral bloodbath if they don't pass something.
I agree. How could you campaign so strongly for something for years and not get it done when you have the chance?
The problem is, it will also be an electoral bloodbath if the new bill takes coverage away from millions of people, which is what the current proposal will do.
All of the proposed Republicans plans shift benefits from the poor to those with more money. But specifically, none of their plans replaces coverage for the poor that they now have under the ACA.
A tax credit doesn't help someone who doesn't have the money in the first place to buy coverage.
There is virtually no chance that a replacement will be in by the 2018 midterms.
They'd need 60 senators to sign off on it.
Most people who are against Obamacare need to admit to themselves that they are only against it because it has "Obama" in the name and for no other reason. Trump doesn't care about anything other than his own ego, and that is evidenced by his talk already of electoral votes. Maybe he should actually accomplish something and stop the constant lies and actually become friends with the truth before he worries about electoral votes. "Nobody knew health care could be so complicated." Um...pretty much everyone but you knew it.
Wholly unprepared. Donald Trump's White House is amateur hour. This is why you shouldn't just rail on those with experience running the government. It actually takes some brains and knowledge and understanding of how it all works to do it effectively. I wouldn't get rid of my doctor or my plumber and wish for someone with no experience or knowledge to come in for a "fresh look".
Trumpsters, look what you have elected…someone who makes unfounded claims (Obama not born in US, 3-5 million illegal voters in California who gave the popular vote to Hillary, 306 electoral votes, a larger victory than anyone since Reagan, Obama wiretapped him, his inauguration crowd was 1.5 million people) and on and on and on. He also isn’t dealing with reality regarding his stupid Appretice show. It never was a top show, and it had been losing audience for a long time now. Everything that man says is a lie. And then, the positive feelings he has about Putin…just ridiculous. Ronald Reagan is rolling over in his grave.
